Assignment #2

Annotated Bibliography/Literature Review1

The goals of this assignment are the preparation of two written components of the overall research effort: 1)
an annotated bibliography; and, 2) an initial synthesis (“draft”) of the findings from the literature.
The process begins with a survey of the scholarly literature in the selected research area: the literature will
help conceptualize and operationalize the research question. The scholarly literature can be initially accessed
via Google Scholar, but must include searches of EconLit and JSTOR, as well as other resources accessible
via the NU Libraries.

While it is expected that many citations will be considered and included in a “bibliography,” at least five
sources should be identified and “annotated” (five to seven is the ideally number for this exercise, but more
will help later development of the term paper). Focus on reputable peer-reviewed articles or books (and
state your method for determining the quality of each reference) and publications since 2002 (older publications may be
definitive, but it important to access the most recent state-of-the-art references). “Annotating” the most
relevant publications involves preparing: 1) a brief summary of the publications key points (two to three
paragraphs), and 2) a summary of how the publication informs the selected research topic and question. This
process is designed to eliminate references that will not be useful.

The format for submission is as follows:

1) Reference #1
a. Brief summary
b. How reference #1 will help YOUR effort

2) Reference #2

a. Brief summary
b. How reference #2 will help YOUR effort

((Continue through reference 5-7))

The Literature Review is a natural extension of the consideration of many references (both those directly
related (and hence annotated) and indirectly) related to the subject area and the research question. The write-
up should link together the published works while identifying commonalities in methods and findings, gaps in
analysis and where the research question resides in the literature. This effort should lay the foundation for
the follow-on “research proposal.”
