Discussion: Preparing annotated bibliographiesDiscussion: Preparing annotated
bibliographiesThe purpose of this assignment is to be able to actively search for relevant
research related to your PICOT topic and present it in a formal annotated
bibliography.General Requirements:Refer to the resource, “Preparing Annotated
Bibliographies,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on
completing this assignment in the appropriate style.Doctoral learners are required to use
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful
completion.You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.Directions:As you search
the library for scholarly research, limit your search to identify empirical articles. You can
use the “Empirical Research Checklist” to help with this determination. Upon finding an
empirical study, assess the validity of the conclusion by determining if the conclusion
answers your proposed research question and if the methodology is appropriate.Using the
“Empirical Research Checklist” and your knowledge of finding empirical research articles,
locate six articles directly related to your proposed PICOT question. You may use the three
you used for the assignment in Topic 4.Write an annotation for each of the six articles that
includes a concise summary in your own words and the correct APA citation for each
articORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your
paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
2. submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
