Aim
The aim of this assessment is to demonstrate your skills in searching, identifying and appraising evidence related to your chosen topic or discipline area.
Instructions
You are required to write an annotated bibliography containing five scholarly journal articles related to your practice or discipline. Each annotation should be approximately 300 words. (Note: these articles should report on primary research, a systematic review, or be a theoretical piece. Do not include editorials, discussion pieces, or commentaries).
To complete this task you will:
Identify a topic of interest and select five articles related to your chosen topic. My Chosen topic is Child and adolescents mental health service in rural and remote Australia.
Provide an introduction to your annotated bibliography, that sets the scene by introducing the topic, describing how you went about searching, exploring, and selecting the five articles.
Each of the five annotations should commence with the full reference of the source in APA7 format.
For each source address the following points:
Provide a statement of the purpose of the study.
Provide a statement of methods used (i.e., if it is a primary study whether it is qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research, or if it is a systematic review, or a theoretical study and if so through what theoretical lens?).
A statement of findings/conclusions.
A statement of credibility of each of the journal articles (i.e., the credibility of the methods, the limitations of the study, and how it might be useful to your specific area of interest).
To conclude your annotated bibliography provide a summary of the main conclusions and gaps you have identified in the five articles. These conclusions and gaps should link to your specific topic of interest.
