Annotate one quantitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
Submit: Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article
This week, you will submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source. This weeks annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.
Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined works for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.
It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.

Referencing and Assessment Offences
Please ensure you reference all sources used when developing your assessment, using the Harvard/OSCOLA system. If you are a Joint Awards student, you have the option of using Harvard. If you do so, please make this clear on the cover page of your submission (Referencing style used: Harvard). Students should also be aware that as Harvard is an ‘in-text’ system, their references form part of the overall word count for the piece. Failure to properly reference your work to original source material can be grounds for the assessment offence of plagiarism and may result in failure of the assessment or more serious implications. Assessment Offences Policy outlines potential offences and it is your responsibility to understand this policy and avoid potential offences. Details of what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it can be found on UWE’s Study Skills pages about avoiding plagiarism. Text-matching software (e.g. SafeAssign) is used to check every submission against other submissions made at the same time, previous submissions to the universities, and internet sources. We may also manually search for matches. When submitting your work, you will be required to confirm that the work is your own. It is an assessment offence to: – copy work from any source, including your own previous assessments, and present it as your own work for this assessment, or to provide your own work to others – to work with others on the assessment in any way, or for anyone to make amends on your work (including proofreaders, who may highlight issues but not edit the work) – change individual words but keep, essentially, the same sentences and/or structures from other sources: this will be detected by text-matching software. Please write in your own words and style to convey your own learning.
