•For this task, you will create an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for your research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and providing an annotation for each source. Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an assessment of its relevance to your topic.

• a. Summarize the information presented in the source.
• b. Analyze the credibility of the author of the source or of the publication (e.g. journal, publisher, or website), if no author is present.
