An annotated bibliography consists of a list of citations to books, scholarly articles and other documents on a defined topic, followed by a 1-3 sentence annotation, or brief analysis, of that citation. For Gender Studies and Race and Ethnic Studies, the citations will follow the Chicago Manual of Style (see the Citing Sources page on this guide for more help with citations).
An annotation differs from an abstract because it does more than summarize.
