What are the characteristics of an annotated bibliography? Pages 528-533 (sep. 28)

The characteristics of an annotated can vary how the author wants to use their style with
it. For example, some consist of short phrases, or have complete sentences. When writing an
annotated bibliography, they are supposed to be brief. However, they are different in length
between paragraphs, and sentences. When you conduct a research paper, or any form of writing,
you will need a work cited from the sources the author has found to use for evidence. The same
rule applies to annotated bibliography. Except in annotated bibliography, it is organized in
alphabetical order as you summarize the sources the author will find. An annotated bibliography
formatted is complete bibliography information, a short summary, how each summary informs
the research, and have a consistent presentation.
