The document provides guidelines for creating annotated bibliographies in APA style. An annotated bibliography consists of a citation in APA format followed by a brief summary and evaluation of the source. The annotation is indented further than the citation and discusses the main ideas and quality of the source, relating it to the research topic. A sample annotated bibliography is provided with three annotated citations as examples.

- 1. Creating APA Annotated Bibliographies, 6th Ed. Annotated bibliographies are not specifically addressed in the APA 6th ed. manual. Most institutions have taken the example of an annotated bibliography found in the APA 5th ed. manual as the basis for the following set of guidelines. It is a good idea to take careful note of any directions given in your assignment, and to check with your professor if you have specific questions. Contents 1. Guidelines 2. Sample Annotated Bibliography 3. Citation Information Guidelines The following is a summary of things to know when creating an APA annotated bibliography: • The annotated bibliography consists of two elements o Citation in current APA format o Annotation • The annotation will follow the citation on the next line. There is not an extra space—double spacing is used throughout. • An annotation is different from an abstract. It should have several sentences summarizing the main points or ideas found in the item. It should then include your own statement evaluating the quality of the item and/or relating the item to your own research topic. • The annotation should be indented an additional two spaces. To do this, highlight the annotation text, and pull the indent markers in the top ruler over until the text is positioned properly. • For a longer annotated bibliography, it is appropriate to divide into sections or topics, and to title those sections as seems fitting. Note: these annotations are for illustrative purposes only and have no relationship to the content of the sources. The citations are from the sample list found at the end.

An empirical investigation of IT outsourcing versus outsourcing in France and Germany. Information & Management, 42, 533-542. doi:10.1016/j.im.2004.02.005 The authors present an investigation of IT outsourcing based on the combined results of a survey administered to IT firms as well as statistical measures from domestic and French or German firms. Their data covers a wide range of IT business unit types. However, the lack of longitudinal data weakens their conclusion that the slower pace of French and German IT outsourcing has had a positive effect on business in those countries long-term.
