Review of Annotated Bibliography

The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to give credit where it is due and to give a brief explanation of each of the sources and the intent of their authors. Generally they are used by authors of journals and books that are research projects. They help the reader or audience understand the sources better when reading the actual paper and they give a summary of the sources, while also helping the reader or audience understand the credibility of the sources that the author is using. Annotated bibliographies are, in my opinion, much more useful than an unannotated bibliography. They provide more information on the sources and help the reader determine whether or not the sources seem credible enough to read further into the paper. They also make the paper seem more organized and thought out than an unannotated bibliography would.
