INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY:

My topic: In adults, does cholesterol screening (versus no screening) decrease the incidence of coronary heart disease?
-IT SHOULD BE AMA STYLE AND THE SEARCH MUST BE IN PUBMED-
1.Find a minimum of eight (8) articles on their topic and create an evaluative annotated bibliography using at least eight of the articles retrieved along with a statement of what databases they searched to find the articles and research strategy used.

2. It has to be AMA manual of style so you use the correct citation format and include the correct element in your citations. Remember there is a difference in citing articles that only appear in electronic format and those that also appear in print. Also that where a DOI (digital object identifier) exists it should be used instead of he URL.
The format should be:
Citation in AMA format � with a hanging indent
A line space
Then your annotation block indented.
See sample below

Duchin JS. Can preparedness for biological terrorism save us from pertussis? Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2004;158(2):106-107. https://archpedi.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/158/2/106. Accessed June 1, 2004.

This article is essentially a think piece that describes the many steps taken to be prepared for biological terrorism and how they can be applied to prevent large outbreaks of pertussis. The data used is from white papers and the conclusions based on logical suppositions rather than any experiment.
Annotated Biblography Requirements:

1. Your citations and annotations. Annotations should BRIEFLY summarize the article and contain a sentence or two of your evaluation of the value of the article. Annotations should be in the third person.
Citations should be in alphabetical order by the last name of the first author, not numbered.

2. Search strategy should be brief but complete. State which database your searched and the strategy you used, including boolean operators, the words used for the search strategy and filters or limits. If you used more than one strategy in the same database, list them all.

3. Your search strategy should be on a separate sheet of paper. If you used more than one resource or more than on strategy, each should be listed. Each search strategy should be detailed enough so that if I use the same strategy in the same resource I would get the same results.

4. Your annotated bibliography MUST be in the format I specified in my previous announcement. The citation paragraphs must utilize a hanging indent. The annotation must be block indented 1/2 inch.

While there are many ways to create a hanging indent in Word on a PC usually use the keyboard command Control+t
For a block indent you can use the indentation icon or the keyboard command Control+m. For Apple use help.
Points will be deducted for failing to use the correct format.
Annotations that merely summarize an article without any analysis will generally receive a lower grade than those that include some useful analytical components.
5.The bibliography should be in alphabetical order by first author.
6. Font should be 12 of 11 point Arial or Times Roman
No length requirement for annotations. Longer is not necessarily better. You want to be concise, precise and grammatical.

Findings: 2,000 words

This section covers the presentation of the main evidence from your review and a summary of its quality. It is the most difficult to structure and there will be a number of possibilities open to you in terms of how you deal with this task. The weakest approach will be to simply list each piece of literature reviewed in turn. A stronger approach that gives better evidence of ability to synthesise material is to use a thematic approach to the structure: for example by intervention, or outcome, or research design, to name but a few possibilities.

The group approach to supervision is particularly helpful here and your peers will be able to give you feedback on whether the particular approach you have taken to presenting your findings makes sense.

Firstly you should report the results of your literature search. As outlined in the methods section above you are recommended to use a flow diagram to depict the logical flow of information and your decision making through the different phases of your search and review. The Prisma flow diagram may be reported in either the methods section or the findings section as it is relevant to both. Use your own judgement to decide where it is most appropriately located for your individual project.

Secondly you should report on your critique of the papers you have included. The critique should be a balanced discussion and evaluation of the strengths, weakness and notable features of the text. Remember to base your discussion on specific criteria. Good reviews also include other sources to support your evaluation (remember to reference).

6) Discussion: 500 words
This should: outline the implications of the review both for your profession and within a multiprofessional context (ie you should identify the impact your research has on other professional groups (these need not be limited to the groups within the School of Health and Life Sciences e.g police; speech and language therapist, educational psychologists; highlight the methodological limitations of the review (are there any papers you could not get hold of because of difficulty accessing the journal or are they in another language); identify any gaps in the literature and make recommendations for practice and further research.

7) Conclusion: 200 words
This should provide two or three statements summarising your key findings. There should be a statement of what the review has added (how it contributes to practice).

This format is now common in many journals so you should not have too much difficulty in finding a model to follow.

8) References:
Link to library website & RefWorks Please note that users of RefWorks should choose the Harvard British Standard 2010 output style; this is consistent with the library’s guide.

9) Appendices:
This section should not be used for figures and tables that you have generated to present your review and referred to in the text – these should be included at an appropriate point within the main body of the text. However, you may want to include additional evidence that is salient to your review or provides a context e.g. client/patient information guidance; an illustration of a theoretical model; equipment specifications etc.

Health Care Systems
Perspective is a powerful tool. A serious issue for you might seem inconsequential to someone else, while problems you never thought possible are an everyday occurrence elsewhere in the world. In health care, this personal reflection can expand fluidly as you travel outside the region in which you live.

Different parts of the world come with different problems, and it is easy to become complacent and lose sight of that fact. As such, different approaches are often needed to ensure essential services. But how do public health systems address the need for essential services? Activity, you will discuss regionally based challenges . You will also discuss organisational aspects of public health care systems.

To complete this Activity:
Create a discussion post in which you address the following:

◾Describe the definition of a public health system: What primary functions does a public health system perform? In order to reflect prevention, treatment and care, which organisations could be included in the system and why?
◾Evaluate a public health system in your region: How effectively does it address its public health goals? What appears to be the overall balance of investment across preventative care and treatment services?
◾post should address the following:
◦Identify commonalities or differences between the public health system you described and othe.

Critically engage scholarly and other sources by going beyond summary through interpretation, analysis, and critique. developing knowledge, in site, or perspective about the matter being researched. using sources to frame or critically question other sources or issues. situating sources relative to each other, to your ideas, and to the broader discussion on the matter being researched

follow writing conventions appropriate to your projects rhetorical situation by providing relevant context such as background information, examples and definitions. Integrating the ideas of others accurately and fairly through summary, paraphrase, and quotation. Documenting all sources with in-text citations and a bibliography following current MLA style.

 
Following what we agreed with the support team in our online discussion, I require that only peer reviewed journals be used for this essay (they can easily be accessed in the EBSCO database) and that I am also provided afterwards, by email, with all the journals that the writer has used for this essay, having the used paragraphs in the journals highlighted, for double-checking purposes in order to avoid the any plagiarism problems.
Important emphasis on critical writing and not descriptive writing. Consider the quality of the evidence and argument you have found in the journals; identify key positive and negative aspects you can comment upon; assess their relevance and usefulness to the debate that you are engaging in this assignment; and identify how best they can be woven into the argument that you are developing.
This should include arguments and counter-arguments. Remember to link what you find. Make sure that you have done the basics and answered the question, but then go one step further by questioning something in your essay with other papers that go more in depth, showing that you have done a wider reading.
