 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION:-
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents.
Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and
evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform
the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of
scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations are descriptive and
critical; they expose the author's point of view, clarity and appropriateness of
expression, and authority.

CREATING AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY:-

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of
intellectual skills:
1. Concise exposition
2. Succinct analysis, and
3. Informed library research.
First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents
that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and
review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of
perspectives on your topic. Cite the book, article, or document using the
appropriate style.
Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the
book or article. Include one or more sentences that
(a) Evaluate the authority or background of the author
(b) Comment on the intended audience.
(c) Compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or
(d) Explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown
University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and
Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters
their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief
in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young
females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the
time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency,
and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams
cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result
of nonfamily living.
An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that gives a summary
of the research that has been done. It is still an alphabetical list of research sources.
In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a brief
summary or annotation.
The annotation usually contains a brief summary of content and a short
analysis or evaluation. Depending on your assignment you may be asked to reflect,
summarize, critique, evaluate or analyze the source. 
The purpose of annotations is to provide the reader with a summary and
an evaluation of the source. In order to write a successful annotation, each
summary must be concise. An annotation should display the source's central
idea(s) and give the reader a general idea of what the source is about.

ANNOTATION SHOULD INCLUDE

An annotation should include the complete bibliographic information for the
source. It should also include some or all of the following:
An explanation about the authority and/or qualifications of the author.
 Scope or main purpose of the work.
 Any detectable bias.
 Intended audience and level of reading.
 A summary comment.
 Ideally, an annotation should be between 100 to 200 words.

TYPES OF ANNOTATIONS

Annotations may be written with different goals in mind.

INDICATIVE ANNOTATIONS:-

This type of annotation defines the scope of the source, lists the significant topics
and explains what the source is about. In this type of entry, there is no attempt to
give actual data such as hypotheses, proofs, etc.
INFORMATIVE ANNOTATIONS:-
This type of annotation is a summary of the source. An informative annotation
should include the thesis of the work, arguments or hypotheses, proofs and a
conclusion.
EVALUATIVE ANNOTATIONS:-
This type of annotation assesses the source's strengths and weaknesses—how the
source is useful and how it is not. Simply put, an evaluative annotation should
evaluate the source's usefulness.
COMBINATION ANNOTATIONS:-
Most annotated bibliographies contain combination annotations. This type of
annotation will summarize or describe the topic, and then evaluate the source's
usefulness.

WRITING STYLES

No matter which writing style is used for annotations, all entries should be brief.
Only the most significant details should be mentioned. Information that is apparent
in the title can be omitted from the annotation. In addition, background materials
and any references to previous work are usually excluded.
TELEGRAPHIC: - A telegraphic writing style gets the information out quickly
and concisely. Maintaining clarity, complete and grammatically correct sentences
are not necessary.
COMPLETE SENTENCES: - A complete sentences writing style utilizes
coherent sentences that are grammatically correct. Subjects and conjunctions are
not eliminated even though the tone may be terse. Long and complex sentences are
to be generally avoided.
PARAGRAPH: - A paragraph writing style utilizes a full, coherent paragraph.
This can sometimes be similar to the form of a bibliographic essay. Complete
sentences and proper grammar must be used.

PURPOSE
There are three main purposes behind writing an annotated bibliography. Each
purpose can serve anyone in a different manner, depending on what they are trying
to accomplish.
LEARNING ABOUT A TOPIC:-
Writing an annotated bibliography is an excellent way to begin any research
project. While it may seem easier to simply copy down bibliographical
information, adding annotations will force the researcher to read each source
carefully. An annotation requires the source to be critically analyzed, not simply
read over.
FORMULATING A THESIS:-
Any form of research paper or essay will require some form of argument. This is
called a thesis. A developed thesis needs to be debatable, interesting and current.
Writing an annotated bibliography will give the researcher a clear understanding
about what is being said about his/her topic. After reading and critically analyzing
sources, the researcher will be able to determine what issues there are and what
people are arguing about. From there, the researcher will be able to develop his/her
own point of view.
TO ASSIST OTHER RESEARCHERS:-
Extensive and scholarly annotated bibliographies are sometimes published. The
purpose of these annotated bibliographies is to provide a complete and
comprehensive overview of any given topic. While a typical researcher may not
have their own annotated bibliography published, a search for previously published
annotated bibliographies related to their topic could prove very beneficial.

practice of basic life support among students in Mangalore”. The nursing journal of
India volume CI no 2 (February 2010) P. p:40-41.

The authors Anil Kumar Parashar, Lecturer, BMCHRC College of Nursing, Jaipur.
He conducted the study among high school students in Manglore, an effective
planned teaching programme on knowledge and practice of basic life support.
About 75%-80% of all out of hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Hence,
being trained to perform basic life support (BLS), more lives can be saved. The
study showed that majority (35,87.5%) of the students had inadequate knowledge
and 40 (100%) has poor practice. The study sought to reveal the existing
knowledge and practice of high school students on BLS. The PTP facilited them to
update their knowledge and practice related to BLS. Hence the PPT was an
effective teaching strategy to improve the knowledge and practice of sample on
BLS.

Manivanannam. C conducted descriptive study about the topic juvenile diabetes

mellitus at Chennai in Tamil Nadu in year 2009. Juvenile diabetes mellitus I DDM
is an autoimmune disease. The median age of onset is about 12 year with the usual
onset of not later than 20 year of age. IDDM is most frequently seen in children
and adolescent. It is a characterized by specific destruction of the insulin by
producing beta cells of the pancrease resulting in an absolute requirement for
insulin in the IDDM patients. The beta cells destruction of probably due to cell
specific auto immunity.

One hundred care givers who were attending the diabetes clinic were selected by
convenient sampling technique. The tool was developed by investigators after
reviewing the related literature and the guidance from experts in the fields.
Questionnaires consisted of three parts, part-1 Demographic data, part-2
knowledge aspects questionnaires, part-3 attitude scale. Analysis was done using
descriptive and inferential statistics. Through this study, a short term teaching

Adhiparashkti college of Nursing, Melmaruvathur, (TN). They conducted a study
on “Action research: why and How”. Action research has the potential to generate
genuine and sustained improvement in school college and the organizations.
Action research does not focus exclusively on user and career involvement, though
clearly their participatory principle makes it an obvious choice to explore their
issues. It can be used more widely to foster better practice across interprofessional
boundaries and between different health settings. It is an elective approach to
research and draws on a variety of data collection method. Action research also
sets in motion a long- range, cyclical, self corrective mechanism for maintain and
the enhancing the effectiveness of the client’s system by leaving the system with
practical and useful tools for self analysis and self renewal.

India volume-11 (November 2011)P.p:255-257.

Prakashratna conducted a study nursing profession must respond appropriately on

society’s changing demanded and expectation. Therefore the nursing knowledge
and skill can not be traditionally static. They success of producing competent nurse
for future health care depends on how effectively we can bridge the gap between
theory and practical though innovative methods of clinical teaching. An integrated
nursing curricula stringently applied. It the only means to bring reformation in
professional discipline in the new world of health care, nursing professional is
emerging as a significant contender. The introduction of advanced technology in
curricula and scope for varied area of the specialization has opened vistas of
opportunities for professional growth. But the increasing expectation of consumers
for efficiency in health care demand clinical competency in care givers, which is
an integrated application of humanistic attitude, relevant knowledge base and
specialized psychomotor skills in health care. Developing clinical competency in
students calls for developing ‘effective clinical teaching methods.’ It has been
generally observed that the gap between theoretical learning and its application to
actual nursing practice is rapidly increasing. Also the understanding of the concept
of ‘clinical teaching’ is observed to be different in teachers and students. Can the
situation be altered by a different approach of clinical teaching!

in Rural setting: The Nursing Journal of India volume-12 (December 2009):

G. Radhakrishnan conducted a study mental disorders are not the exclusive

preserve of any special group they are truly universal. The number of young people
each year aged 15-35 who experience a first episode of psychosis is estimated at
6,900 in England. Psychosis related to schizophrenia is associated with higher
costs to public services (including health, social care and criminal justice), lost
employment and greatly diminished quality of life for the individual with the
illness and their family. Estimates mental and behavioural disorders are found in
people of all regions all countries and all societies. The mental disorders problems
are more in industrialized and relatively richer parts of the worlds is simply the
believe that the rural communities relatively unaffected by the fast pace of modern
life, have no mental disorders is also incorrect while considerable evidence exist
regarding the effectiveness of specific kinds of intervention for mental illness,
prevention and to a lessor extent of mental health promotion, and illness prevention
(MHPIP) remain under developed in western Australia. The aim of this study was
to explore the current state of MHPIP in western Australia and to highlight some of
the structural and systemic issues that need to be addressed if MHPIP services are
to be progressed further in this state. For this purpose, the study examine the
capacity for delivery of MHPIP services. Opportunities and barriers to the further
development of MHPIP their also identified. 34 key stakeholders representing a
cross section of local services, central government agencies and universities their
interviewed using a semi structured interview schedule. Interview were conducted
over a six week period.

Volume 2 (March 2009) :58-59

Anitha Ravi conducted a study every by significant number of people die due to
the failure of one organ in the body or the other. One of the life saving measure for
these kind of patients in organ transplantation. Brain death can occur from a severe
injury to the head, then hemorrhage, stroke, drowning or gunshot wound to the
head. When the brain does not receive a steady blood supply of a oxygen and
nutrients it needs to function, the brain cells die. Brain death is the complete and
irreversible end of all brain function. Brain death is declared when medical test
confirm a complete loss of brain function, including the brain stem. Only 1% death
in the US result in brain death. Brain death is not the same as a coma. A person can
recover from a coma, but brain death is death. Receiving a human organ from a
healthy living donor is not always possible and exposes a healthy person to risk so
recessing healthy organ from a dead person will be ideal, as the donor is already
dead and may organs can be removed from one donor brain death can occur from a
severe injury to the head, brain hemorrhage, stroke, drowning or gunshot wound to
the head.

journal of India volume 6 (June 2010): 126-127.

C Nalini. Shantha conducted a study human immune deficiency viral disease is

chronic viral infection of HIV that is associated with progressive deterioration of
the immune system. Particularly T4/CD4 cells with which results in the
development of severe opportunities infection. HIV infection leads to weight loss
and cachexia. Body wasting in AIDS is characterized by loss of body cell mass.
Primarily muscle protein and death occurs when body weight reaches two to third
of normal weight and body cell mass reaches half of normal values. This implies
that death may be more often due to malnutrition, specifically negative nitrogen
balance than to the direct effect of infection. The causes of body wasting are
inadequate food intake secondary to anorexia, malabsorption of nutrients
secondary to diarrhea and disordered metabolism.
