Hypothyroidism and how it correlates with women who have depression

Paper details
Use the template provided to develop an annotated bibliography of at least 5 scholarly sources published
since 2015 that are relevant to your chosen topic (presenting issue and/or population). Each annotated
should be 150-200 words in length. You can do either an informative or evaluative approach to your
annotations. Be sure to complete a solid summary – no quotes, no plagiarism (including synonym
switcheroo).
Annotations are summaries of articles. An informative annotation just reports the key elements and findings
while an evaluative annotation includes a critical analysis of the study being reported (see posted
examples). It should be clear in the first two sentences what type of article is being summarized (e.g.,
literature review, historical overview, meta-analysis, qualitative case study, quantitative correlational,
quantitative experimental or quasi-experimental or longitudinal). If the article is reporting on a study that
was conducted, the first two sentences should also identify the variables (if there are a lot of variables, then
list the ones that relate to your topic and mention how many others were also included – Smith (2020)
collected data on academic self-efficacy and six other variables related to self-regulated learning
behaviors). The rest of the annotation should describe the sample (how many and relevant identifying
information – 89 undergraduate psychology majors) and data collection method (surveys, observation,
interviews) and then report the key findings (which could be finding nothing when they hypothesized finding
something) and any significant limitations.
Use a narrative citation in the first two sentences to identify the article being summarized. Avoid making
references like “the authors,” “the researchers,” “the article,” or any vague pronouns like “he,” “she,” or
“they” because you will be using these to develop a literature review that will be referencing many sources
and it can become too confusing to keep track of which specific source you mean when you use those
vague terms.
Include either a narrative citation or a parenthetical citation on the sentences that report findings because
those represent claims being made. You do not necessarily need citations on sentences that just report
sample size or instruments used.
