One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in a doctoral program is the ability to identify other research that pertains to your own. This means you’ll have to identify related research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills. The paper must be in a correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least five (5) resources, ALL of which must: 1) Be current. Published within the last few years. 2) Be peer-reviewed
