Each source in this annotated bibliography, along with a correctly formatted citation, should include a summary of the content of the source and a two-pronged critical analysis of the source. The first part of the critical analysis will be your objective evaluation of the source and the second part will be your subjective evaluation. Even if a source is found to be credible, if it does not contribute to your research question, it should not be included.
For each source, prepare an entry according to the following guidelines:
1. Bibliography Entry: Include the complete bibliographic information correctly formatted according to the ACS style guidelines

2. Summary of Content: Include a descriptive paragraph summarizing the source. Include key concepts and quotations when appropriate.

3. Objective Evaluation: Objectively evaluate the credibility of the source using the criteria that are most relevant. Use the questions presented in the TRAAP criteria at http://mc.libguides.com/research/eval to stimulate your ideas, but don’t feel as if you need to address each criteria as a checklist. Use the criteria that are appropriate for your source. When relevant, address such things as bias or lack of bias, outdated material or current material, author’s point of view, and author’s credentials and qualifications to write on the topic. What is the author’s purpose in writing the information? Is the information presented without prejudice? Or does the author, publisher, or research funding organization have a stake in the outcome or the controversy you are investigating?
