Application: Annotated Bibliography

As you find and read articles for your literature review, it is important to keep track of what content is in each and how it relates to your Dissertation. One way to do this is to keep a running annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography includes a list of resources, each with a brief summary of its content and usefulness. Another way to keep track is by using a matrix to summarize articles. You can find an example of such a matrix on the Walden Writing Center web article “Literature Reviews.” Click on “Organizational Tools (Matrices)” and then look at the sample matrices; there is a template there for your use in writing your annotated bibliography.
