What are 'annotations'?

When you have located your article and cite it, the annotation will go directly below the source citation.

What is an annotation?

Your annotation is a summary and connects the article to your research theme -- explain in 2-4 sentences what information the source contained, particularly what was important / interesting / unusual compared to other sources. This summary should be in your own words, not quoted. After summarizing the source, use 2-4 sentences to explain how the article connects with your research topic.

Tips for writing great annotations from the Purdue OWL:
