Question

My Research Topic: Is On What Is Sustainable Living?

Annotated Bibliography: Assignment Description Assignment: Produce an Annotated Bibliography of five sources that will help you write your research paper

Audience Assume you are writing this bibliography for fellow students who share your interest in the topic chosen.

Purpose Writing an Annotated Bibliography demonstrates: • Your understanding of the arguments/points raised in the sources chosen • That the sources chosen are reliable representations for your topic Annotated Bibliographies can also serve as a guide for future researchers.

Length o Each entry in your annotated bibliography – the bibliographical information plus the annotation – should take up about at least ½ of a page. o Bibliographies that are too short will receive grades that reflect that fact.

Source Requirements: The requirements for the sources used in your bibliography are the same as the source requirements for your research paper.

The plan is for you to use the same five sources for both projects: the annotated bibliography and the research paper.

However, this is not required. As you write the research paper, you may end up finding sources that are more relevant to your topic.

1. Your five required sources should all be written in English.

2. ONLY TWO of your required sources may be (but do not have to be) documents from an Internet website AND/OR audio/visual sources, such as a film documentary.

3. At least THREE of your required sources must be selected from among the following options:

• Old-fashioned, hard copy books. These include books that are entirely about your issue or books that contain a chapter or section about your issue, and anthologies (collections of essays by various writers) that include one or more essays about your issue.

• Articles about your issue accessed through any of our library’s databases (subscription services) obtained from GALILEO. For any journal or magazine article, you must provide both the publication data for the original, hard- copy article published on paper and the electronic source information (the database, etc.).

• Electronic books obtained from GPC’s “netlibrary” or “ebrary.”

Students are responsible for evaluating the quality of sources. Remember that material from the Internet, in particular, may be unreliable. (Anyone can say anything on the Internet.)

The quality of sources will affect the grade received.

Choose the required five sources carefully.

They should be substantive and helpful to the research topic.

They should not be redundant: Do not choose a source if it merely repeats the content of another source already chosen.

Do not try to summarize a source that you cannot understand. Either get help so you can understand it, or reject the source and find something that makes sense to you.

Annotations of Sources:

Each Annotation entry must include TWO well-developed paragraphs: a summary paragraph and a paragraph that evaluates the source.

Paragraph 1: Summary

An annotation is an objective summary of the source. Your summary must use attribution tags that identify not only what the source says but also what it does. The first sentence of your summary should state in your own words the thesis or major purpose of the source. The rest of the annotation should provide an overview of the content and indicate the strategies used to develop the piece. A good summary should have these qualities:

• It should be accurate; it should not misrepresent the contents of the source.

• It should provide an overview of the source’s content and organization without providing distracting details.

• It should be an objective description.

• Writing style and tone needs to be concise, precise, and accurate.

About annotating books: Remember, you do not have to annotate an entire book. You may annotate just a single chapter, or the introduction, or an excerpt of some kind.

Quotations: Each annotation should be your own original composition, and quoting should generally be avoided. You may have one quotation per annotation if the quotation is no longer than one relatively short sentence. No “dropped quotations” are allowed: use attribution tags. Also, if you quote, do not chop up the quoted material so that it makes no sense or distorts meaning.

Paragraph 2: Evaluation Evaluate the source; express your opinion about the strengths and/or weaknesses of the source and why the source may be useful to researchers.

Note the following: • List the five items alphabetically by author. • Present the information in MLA format--not APA

Answer 1

1.Beck,Cheryl Tatano. (2001.Predictors of Postpartum Depression:An Update.Nursing Research,50(5):275-285

The researchers were used the method of the study as meta-analysis.The researchers selected this study as an updation of previous study conducted during 1980's.In the decade of 1990's 84 studies the study were published to determine the magnitude of relationship between postpartum depression and various risk-factors using meta-analysis.Here in the present study the reserchers try to update the findings of earlier meta-analysis of post partum depression predictors.the results of the study confirmed the findings of earlier meta-analysis

2.Cordovilla-Guardia,Sergio;Vilar Lopez,RaquelLardelli-Claret,Pablo etal. (2017).Alcohol or Drug use And Trauma Recidivism.Nursing Research.66(5):399-404

The researchers selected across-sectional study to analyze the concurrent relationship between trauma in patients admitted to the University Hospital of Granada,SpainThey collected the trauma history from helth information system,which included patient health histories since 1999.Their study found that patients who screened positive for alcohol,illicit drugs,and or psychotropic medications had a higher frequency of past trauma history compared with patients with negative tests
