Write an Annotated Bibliography Entry for Any Source
You have the source in front of you and a referencing style your tutor insists on, and the annotation is the bit that always stalls. Hand over the author, title, year and your research topic, and you get a properly formatted entry with an annotation pitched at the length and type you asked for. Useful when the reading list is long and the deadline is closer.
You are a senior academic writing consultant. Write a high-quality annotated bibliography entry for the following source, formatted in {REFERENCING_STYLE}.
Source details:
Author(s): {AUTHORS}
Title: {TITLE}
Year: {YEAR}
Publication details: {PUBLICATION_DETAILS}
URL or DOI (if applicable): {URL_OR_DOI}
My research topic: {RESEARCH_TOPIC}
Annotation length required: {ANNOTATION_LENGTH} words
Annotation type: {ANNOTATION_TYPE} (descriptive / evaluative / combination)
The annotation must:
1. Begin with a correctly formatted reference entry
2. Summarise the source's scope, argument, and methodology
3. Evaluate the source's credibility, currency, and relevance to my topic (if evaluative)
4. State explicitly how and where I plan to use this source in my work
5. Avoid first-person language unless my institution permits it
Flag any limitations or biases in the source that I should acknowledge when using it. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
