Annotated Bibliography
Annotated Bibliography
In this assignment, you will choose a disorder diagnosed in children or adolescents (obsessive-compulsive) and review current research. You will provide a critical evaluation of that research by creating an annotated bibliography.
An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of a journal article. For this assignment, you must provide an annotated bibliography of at least six peer-reviewed academic journal articles describing research related to your chosen disorder. Each article must have been published within the past five years.
This assignment will help you prepare for writing your literature review in week 5.
Your review of each of your six peer-reviewed journal articles should include the following:
· The main topic
· The focus or thesis of the journal article
· The argument that the author is making and its relevance to your focal question
· The type of article—published, original research, meta-analysis, or reflection piece
· The key findings of the study
· Correlation with course material
The annotated bibliography will be used as a part of the literature review for your course project due in Week 5.
Locate research articles from scholarly journals. Scholarly journal articles are also referred to as primary sources or peer-reviewed articles. A scholarly journal article can be found in the South University Online Library.
