Annotated Bibliography

Alisha · March 16, 2013

I would like to be able to create an annotated bibliography from my saved articles. I write annotations and have to keep them in a separate word document. I have figured out how to add notes to my library items and can attach the annotation to the source that way, but I can't generate a report that contains only the citation and the annotation note.

Try Chicago Manual of Style (note, annotated bibliography): you can use it to do what you want if you enter your annotations in the "extra" field.

Thank you! That's very helpful :). Is there any way to do it using APA so that I don't have to reformat all of the citations?

there is now an annotated APA style on the repository (using abstracts). That and the Chicago style are all we're going to add, though, it's just too much maintenance otherwise.
