An
 annotated bibliography is a bibliography
            that lists all the sources you are using in your paper
 and has a short note
            below each entry explaining how the source will be used in the paper.
            
First, you should confirm which citation style you are using, APA,
            MLA,
 Chicago, or a different one. Then, start gathering sources. It looks
            like your instructor is
 asking you to use the science database ProQuest, so
            it is likely that you will be citing in APA.
 The database is a great
            resource, as you can search for articles within it and it will have
 already
            filtered out irrelevant or non-peer reviewed sources. You can be certain that the
            search
 results are correct and are well researched. 
In
            order to pick your sources,
 it will be helpful to skim the abstracts of the
            search results. An abstract is a short synopsis
 of the paper's contents. This
            way you do not have to read each and every search result, and you
 can gather
            your sources much more quickly. 
Once you have your sources,
            start
 formatting them in your Works Cited page, and leave space for the
            annotations. When your Works
 Cited page is complete, go back in and write a
            few sentences about each source; explain why you
 picked it, how it is
            relevant, and how you will use it in your paper.
