Questions to consider
需要考虑的问题
You need to consider carefully the texts that you select for your annotated bibliography. Keep the following questions in mind to help clarify your choices.
您需要仔细考虑为注释书目选择的文本。请牢记以下问题,以帮助阐明您的选择。
What topic/ problem am I investigating?
我正在调查什么主题/问题?
What question(s) am I exploring? Identify the aim of your literature research.
我在探索什么问题?确定您的文献研究目标。
What kind of material am I looking at and why? Am I looking for journal articles, reports, policies or primary historical data?
我正在查看哪种材料,为什么?我是否在寻找期刊文章、报告、政策或主要历史数据?
Am I being judicious in my selection of texts? Does each text relate to my research topic and assignment requirements?
我在选择文本时是否明智?每篇文章都与我的研究主题和作业要求相关吗?
What are the essential or key texts on my topic? Am I finding them? Are the sources valuable or often referred to in other texts?
关于我的主题的基本或关键文本是什么?我找到他们了吗?这些来源是否有价值或经常在其他文本中引用?
Which writing style should I use in the annotations?
我应该在注释中使用哪种书写风格?
Each annotation should be concise. Do not write too much—remember, you are writing a summary, not an essay. Annotations should not extend beyond one paragraph unless otherwise stipulated in your assignment guidelines. As this is not an extended piece of writing, only mention significant and relevant details.
每个注释都应该简洁明了。不要写太多——记住,你写的是摘要,而不是论文。注释不应超过一个段落,除非您的作业指南中另有规定。由于这不是一篇扩展的文章,因此只提及重要且相关的细节。
Any information apparent in the title of the text or journal can be omitted from the annotation.
文本或期刊标题中明显的任何信息都可以在注释中省略。
Background materials and references to previous work by the same author usually are not included. As you are addressing one text at a time, there is no need to cross-reference or use in-text citations to support your annotation.
通常不包括背景材料和对同一作者以前作品的引用。由于您一次处理一个文本,因此无需交叉引用或使用文本内引用来支持您的注释。
Unless otherwise stipulated, you should write in full sentences using academic vocabulary.
除非另有规定,否则您应该使用学术词汇写完整的句子。
What does an annotated bibliography look like?
带注释的书目是什么样的?
An annotated bibliography starts with the bibliographic details of a source (the citation) followed by a brief annotation.
带注释的书目以来源(引文)的书目详细信息开头,然后是简短的注释。
As with a normal reference list or bibliography, an annotated bibliography is usually arranged alphabetically according to the author’s last name. An annotated bibliography summary should be about 100 - 200 words per citation—check with your lecturer/tutor as this may vary between faculties and assessments. Please also check with your lecturer about the elements each annotation should include.
与普通的参考文献列表或参考书目一样,带注释的参考书目通常根据作者的姓氏按字母顺序排列。带注释的参考书目摘要每次引用应约为 100 - 200 字——请咨询您的讲师/导师,因为这可能因院系和评估而异。另请与您的讲师核实每个注释应包含的元素。

(2004) ‘Employee turnover and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion’, Journal of Armchair Psychology, 113 (1), pp. 56-64. ( ) In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect to job performance, turnover rates and employee motivation. ( ) The authors use data gained through organisational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main causes of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. ( ) Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organisational reward schemes. ( ) The article is useful to my research topic, as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and variances in employee motivation and performance. ( ) The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, ( ) thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive, research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. ( ) This article will not form the basis of my research; however it will be useful supplementary information for my research on pay structures.

Review the assignment briefs for both the assignments for this module. Assignment 2 asks you to critically evaluate a contemporary business topic. Have a think about what your topic could be and do a brainstorming activity. Don’t worry too much about the format of the brainstorm – it could be a list on your phone or it could be a mindmap. Bring this to class next week to share with the group and to help give you a focus for the Library training session next week.
查看本模块的两个作业的作业简介。作业 2 要求您批判性地评估一个当代商业主题。想想你的主题可能是什么,并做一个头脑风暴活动。不要太担心头脑风暴的格式——它可以是手机上的列表,也可以是思维导图。 将此带到下周的课堂上,与小组分享,并帮助您在下周的图书馆培训课程中有一个重点。
Visit the Library – physically and have a look at the online catalogue. In week 3, we will have an introductory session to finding sources in the Library to help with your annotated bibliography, but try to get ahead.
访问图书馆 – 亲自查看在线目录。 在第 3 周,我们将举办一次介绍性会议,介绍如何在图书馆中查找资源,以帮助您完成带注释的书目,但请尽量提前。
