  2. Basic Bibliography Information A Bibliography is a list of electronic sources, articles, and/or books that you have quoted, referred to, or read for information when researching a paper. ********************************************************** Citation is needed when it is: • An original idea derived from a source • Your summary of original ideas by a source • Factual information that is not common knowledge • Any exact wording copied from a source

  3. Some bibliographies add information about each source after the publication information. This is called an annotated bibliography. Annotated bibliographies assist the reader in deciding which resources would be helpful in their own research. What is an Annotated Bibliography?

  4. An-no-tate (ăn’ ō-tāt’) v.- to describe the essential details of a paragraph, an electronic document, an article or a book. An annotation can be a short summary, review, evaluation, or extrapolation. To Annotate

  5. The Purpose of an Annotation is to: Briefly describe the contents Explain the main purpose of the work Indicate possible audiences of the work Note any special features Warn of any defect, weakness, or suspected bias Note: The purpose will vary depending on your assignment and your audience. Be sure to ask your instructor what your annotations should include. What is the Purpose of an Annotation?

  6. Reactions give your feelings towards the information provided. Example: “Acupuncture.” The New Encyclopedia Britannica. 1992 ed. Not a specialized source but provides some good background information. Tells the theory of how acupuncture works. Reactions

  7. Summaries reiterate the main ideas of the work. Summaries Example: “Acupuncture May Offer Hope for Alcoholics”. RN 53 (1990) : 113. Gives specific information on acupuncture as a cure for “skid row” alcoholics. Some statistics included.

  8. Questions present brief background information and pose questions formulated by the text. Example: Metteal, J.F., C. Rouzioux and D. Vittecoq. “Acute HIV Infection After Acupuncture Treatment.” The New England Journal of Medicine 320 (1989): 250-51. The idea of the HIV virus being spread by acupuncture needles is confirmed by a case reported in this journal. What similar case reports have been conducted? How is acupuncture countering patient distrust generated by this study? Questions

  9. Definitions provide a basic summary along with definitions of words, organizations, etc. that may be helpful for the reader. Examples: American Academy of Medical Acupuncture. General Information. 2001. AAMA. 9 March 2001 http://www.medicalacupuncture.org/acu_info/generalinfo.html. A web site provided by the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture- the accrediting agency for physicians who wish to become trained and certified as medical acupuncturists. Included a lot of good information for consumers as well as for physicians. Definitions

  10. Evaluations analyze the academic value of a source. Example: Butler, Kurt. A Consumer’s Guide to “Alternative Medicine”: A Close Look at Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Faith-Healing, and Other Unconventional Treatments. Amhurst, NY: Prometheus, 1992. This book provides a skeptic’s view of alternative medicine and urges a “buyer’s beware” attitude for consumers. Highly opinionated. Evaluations

  11. Extrapolationstake a given set of facts and predict information that is not given or available. Example: Helms, Joseph M. “An Overview of Medical Acupuncture.” Modified from Essentials of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Eds. W.B. Jonas and J.S. Levin. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 2001. 7 March 2001. Includes acupuncture and consistent exercise’s influence on reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. Data on specific types of exercise varies among control and placebo groups; may be considered inconclusive, as the group were all of one race and were small. Extrapolations
