NUR 440 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Overview:
In Milestone Two, you formulated your PICO question. For Milestone Three, you will construct an annotated bibliography by using your PICO to guide your research. The annotated bibliography will assist you in gathering a detailed list of resources to use in your integrative review of the literature. An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources with an accompanying paragraph that describes, explains, and/or evaluates each entry in terms of strengths, limitations, quality, and relevance. The purpose of writing an annotated bibliography is to provide an overview of the research that has been published on a particular topic.
Prompt:
For this milestone, you will prepare an annotated bibliography with at least SIX citations. An annotation concisely paraphrases the main idea and purpose of the selected resource. The annotation of a scholarly journal should identify the thesis (or research question, or hypothesis), the methods used, and its discussion or conclusions. Remember that identifying the purpose is a different task than listing the resource’s contents. To be more precise, the annotation should state why the contents are there. While constructing your annotations, be sure to include the following critical elements:
1. RESTATE argument or thesis, methods, and conclusions
2. EVALUATE resource for strengths and limitations
3. Analyze the QUALITY of each study using the appraisal checklist found in the module resources
4. Evaluate how each resource has a CONNECTION to the PICO question
