Oakwood University Week 3 Roles of the Northern Goddess Book Report

When conducting research, it is important that the research topic is sufficiently explored, supported by credible sources and evaluated for relevance. The researcher should also have a good understanding of the literature underpinning the research problem. An annotated bibliography, described as a list of sources that gives the publication information and a short description or annotation for each source, is a great way to identify sources that best support the topic. Each annotation is generally three to seven sentences long. In some bibliographies, the annotation merely describes the content and scope of the source. The annotation can also evaluate the source’s reliability, currency, and relevance to a researcher’s purpose (Eva B. Dykes Library, 2016).

For this assignment, create an annotated bibliography by completing the requirements below:

1. Use the Oakwood University Library to identify five sources that support the research topic approved by your instructor earlier in the course.
2. Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed articles, books, periodocals or other credible online sources. All sources must be relevant to your selected topic.
3. Cite all sources using APA formatting and include a descriptive and evaluative paragraph for each source that informs readers about the content, relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source.
4. Review the Steps to Create an Annotated Bibliography in the Oakwood University Library for additional information, and a video tutorial and ensure your assignment meets the guidelines of the Annotated Bibliography Rubric below.

Paper Details:
