The annotated bibliography is the first step in developing your research proposal. Choose a target population for your study and begin a literature search on that population and topic of choice.
The purpose of writing an annotated bibliography is to describe the relevancy of the sources cited. Choose a minimum of six peer-reviewed journal articles from the counseling field (or a closely related field) on your topic of choice and provide
- An APA style citation
- A brief (less than 200 word) annotation (concise summary) of each of the articles, including the research design used
Each reflective summary should be at least one paragraph in length (no more than two).
