Question

Here are the instructions: It has to be based off my topic for Reagan. It can be one of these. The professor doesn’t want me to discuss the whole cold war but pick some involvement that Reagan had when he was in office and how he influenced it, here are questions the professor suggested ~ Remember that you are not discussing the entire cold war. How did Reagan change the nature of the conflict during the Cold War? He made slips of the tongue on radio. How did British Prime Minister Thatcher influence his views? What kind of personal relationship did he develop with his Soviet counterpart Gorbachev?

Research Paper Annotated Bibliography

I am including the section describing an annotated bibliography within the syllabus. First of all, you must have ten reputable quality academic resources. Do not include Wikipedia or an encyclopedia or anything written for teachers of pre-college level students. You might find this useful as you begin reading about your topic but discard the bicycle training wheels and do not list or quote from them. You must include at least 10 sources. Primary sources are written by a participant or a first hand observer. Anything that relies on published research is a secondary source. I must see at least two primary sources. All sources must use the Chicago citation format. A url is not acceptable without the full publication detail – name of journal, date, number, pagination or record group and file in the event of archival citation. Who is the author – what scholarly training and experience do they have that enables you to determine their authority?

As an example, I have cited a book I read in graduate school and have incorporated into Middle Eastern history classes I have taught at several universities. The copy I currently have is the 1993 edition. When you find multiple cities of publication, the first city suffices. When you see multiple publication dates, use the most recent (it is usually edited and perhaps updated). The key to an annotation is identifying the author’s credentials, providing full citation information, and explaining why it is important which is a discussion of the information (if unique) or insight (in all instances).

Editions and translation information are important. An English translation can omit key information included in the original publication. Indicate which edition you are using.

Research Paper Annotated Bibliography

Write an annotated bibliography. This will list and describe a minimum of 10 primary and secondary sources, with specific requirements detailed below, that you may use in your paper.

The annotated bibliography should involve a variety of primary and secondary sources, including at least two primary sources and articles from at least two academic journals; it should not include encyclopedias (including Wikipedia), dictionaries, or non-professional websites. Each annotation should include a full, properly formatted Chicago style citation including evidence of the author’s professional academic background or relative occupational experience, one to two paragraphs detailing the basic argument of the work, the type of evidence used to prove the thesis, and an explanation of the value of the information to your paper. This is not a mere reiteration of the fact that you consider it useful. Carefully explain why.

Here would be an example of an acceptable annotated bibliographic entry:

Princeton University Professor Emeritus Bernard Lewis’ THE ARABS IN HISTORY (New York: Harper, 1993) is a brief scholarly survey of the contributions of Arabic civilization. This highly erudite text effectively conveys the most important precepts of Islamic culture as a foundation for understanding American political intervention in the Middle East during the early Cold War era.
