Assessment item 3 – Annotated Bibliography and Journal Synopsis
Value: 35%
Length: 2000 words (10-12 pages)
Submission method options: Alternative submission method
TASK
You are required to prepare for this Assessment Item by:
1. READING the Subject outline,
2. COMPLETING Topic 3, 4 and 5 on sections that discuss how to do an Annoatated
Bibliography and a Journal Synopsis paper.
WHAT TO DO: Tasks 1 and 2 below
TASK 1 – 25%
Annotated Bibliography
1. Write an Annotated Bibliography for your Capstone Topic with a collection of 12 articles following a set structure. The Annotated Bibliography is a critical examination of the most relevant and recent scholarly research on the topic area that is not just a summary of the articles you have read.
2. An Annotated Bibliography is a detailed analysis of sources that can be used later in an expanded Literature Review.
3. Use the latest online search tools (CSU PRIMO, Google Scholar, Online databases) and efficient bibliographic organisers – CSU supports the use of EndNote. (available on iPad). EndNote is a bibliographic citation program, allowing references and footnotes to be translated into a variety of standard formats.
4. As a CSU student you can download and install EndNote X7 for Windows or Mac OS platforms from https://online.csu.edu.au/division/dit/software/core.html
5. Ensure that the Annotated Bibliography submitted by you is your own work and has not been submitted elsewhere and comply with the University’s requirements for academic integrity.
6. You can get help in Building and Writing an Annotated Bibliography from several Topics in the ITC571 Interact2 site sidebar menu and other study advice and tips from:
1. Study Resources (PDF files to download): http://student.csu.edu.au/study/ resources
2. APA style Referencing from http://student.csu.edu.au/study/referencing-at-csu
Example below shows APA6 style with 2nd and subsequent line indentation and use of DOI link to source if available:
3. The CSU Library website for LibGuides in Information Technology, Computing and Mathematics at http://libguides.csu.edu.au/cat.php?cid=66969
4. EndNote Bibliographic software and tutorials LibGuide at http://libguides.csu.edu.au/endnote
7. Review the emerging technology (use internet for journals, conference papers, magazines, news articles, online databases, eBooks) and submit a 12-article Annotated Bibliography on your topic.
8. A good place to start a collection of articles in your annotated bibliography is via the PRIMO search tool located on the CSU Library website at http://www.csu.edu.au/ division/library
9. Self-Evaluation Report on Originality (100-150 words)
a. Select a 1000-word sample of annotations text only (exclude references) from and submit it for testing at Turnitin turnitin.com
b. Save and append a copy of the originality report obtained.
c. Critically evaluate and interpret the originality report, from your context or point of view as your personal Self-Evaluation Report on Originality (100-150 words).
10. NOTE: Tasks 1 and 2 (below) can be appended into the one document and submitted via Turnitin as PDF or other document format.
As an example, the Capstone Topic PRIMO search on a research topic like “IoT security in smart
cities” returned the following snapshot from a large list of very recent journals related to the Topic, by using the “articles” filter to cut out books, eBooks etc. Next when applying another filter “peer-reviewed” and a sort by “Date-newest”, joined with a show only “Open access” and “Available Online”, then the second screen reveals a 2019 journal paper not readily seen on the first broader search result page 1:
Library Resources
Information Technology Journal Databases: http://www.csu.edu.au/division/library/findinfo/databases/subject/infotech
Information Technology & Computing LibGuides : http://libguides.csu.edu.au/itc
(http://libguides.csu.edu.au/itc)
The following questions may be useful while reviewing the topic:
1. What is the new technology?
2. What does it do and what are the special features it has?
3. When is it coming out in the market and how much will it cost?
4. What industry will the new technology affect? (Medical, agricultural, computer, business, etc….).
5. In your opinion, will the new technology be beneficial to society? Why or why not.
6. What did you learn from a critical analysis of your sources of information on this new technology?
TASK 2 – 10%
Write a 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper based on your Task 1 results. The purpose of this final assessment activity is to produce a 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper on your findings, lessons learnt and a discussion that will be supported by your annotated bibliography with references from respected sources. After submission, post a copy to share with your peers on the ITC571 Discussion Forum. The challenge is to communicate the most about your project in the least amount of words.
What is a synopsis?
It is another name for an Abstract, that you will have read at the beginning of academic journal articles when researching your A4 Annotated Bibliography. If you have read these synopses or abstracts, you’ll already know that they are:
“a summary of the article; its arguments and conclusion.”
The journal abstract or synopsis was very useful to you perhaps, in helping you to decide if an article is relevant to your research, and in deciding the worth of futher reading and are an integral feature of most conferences. The presenters are required to submit an abstract or synopsis of their papers, which conference delegates later receive. This helps the delegates decide which presentation they will attend. So you need to be convincing with your synopsis and include an overview of your arguments and conclusions. Synopses are generally only one or two paragraphs long, and they are placed at the beginning of the paper.
Adapted here from the Source:

It should make it easier if you use the simple template below for your 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper as it has the following headings and length as a guide: TITLE (10 words of the synopsis paper and NOT the same as your Project Title)
1. AIM OF THE PROJECT ( 1 sentence or 15 words)
2. METHOD (2 sentences or 30 words)
3. RESULTS (1-2 sentences or 15 to 30 words)
4. DISCUSSION (2 sentences or 30 words)
5. CONCLUSION (1 sentence or 15 words)
Guidelines:
· The ABSTRACT of an article is written LAST. See https://www.editage.com/insights/ a-10-step-guide-to-make-your-research-paper-abstract-more-effective (https://www.editage.com/insights/a-10-step-guide-to-make-your-research-paperabstract-more-effective)
• The final task is to refine is the TITLE of the paper
• Include your references in APA style as usual (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/ referencing-at-csu (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/referencing-at-csu))
• Ensure that the Journal paper is your own work and has not been submitted elsewhere and complies with the University’s requirements for academic integrity.
• Post a message about your Journal Synopsis paper on the Discussion Forum to share with your lecturer and peers.
• Your lecturer will advise further on how the format can be modified to suit the nature of your work.
RATIONALE
This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:
• be able to perform literature searches and critically analyse the literature in the chosen topic.
• be able to critically reflect on and synthesize complex information, problems, concepts and theories in the chosen topic.
• be able to apply established research methodologies with autonomy.

As the Annotated Bibliography develops, so will also be demonstrating your advanced communication and academic writing skills in transmitting your capstone experiences and ideas to others.
What does a well-constructed annotated bibliography contain?
That is a research topic on its own, however I recommend the list of SIX structural elements below
1. Interpretation and evaluation of an overview of recent trends in emerging technologies and innovation;
2. Evidence of literature searches and critical analysis of the literature in the chosen capstone topic;
3. Critical reflection and synthesis of complex information, problems, concepts and theories in the chosen topic;
4. Original opinion on the benefits of your capstone project to others;
5. Reflective comments on what was learnt from a review of the literature;
6. Use of correct citations and referencing conforming to recognised referencing format.
The Checklist for the Annotations elements can be used as a quality check as you write:
Content Elements
• Coverage of topic
• Depth of discussion
• Development of argument and reasoning
• Selection of literature
Writing Style Elements
• Structure of review
• Technical competence
• Use of citations and quotations
• Referencing
Task 2
After studying something quite intensely in task 1 Annotated Bibliography, you are now an expert in that area of research. As such, you need to be able to present that knowledge as a compact 120 to 200 word Journal Synopsis paper as a final demonstration of your knowledge and understanding in deploying a range of research principles, methodologies and academic writing skills.
Research is defined in the AQF as follows: “Research comprises systematic experimental and theoretical work, application and/or development that results in an increase in the dimensions of knowledge.”
Your ITC571 research includes original, exploratory, experimental, applied, clinically or work-based, and other forms of creative work undertaken systematically to increase knowledge and understanding, deploying a range of research principles and methodologies.
The aims of this Journal exercise are based and modified on those for which CORE was established:
• to create a professional journal experience for those postgraduate students engaged in computer science and information technology in higher education and research institutes and to facilitate their research skills development;
• to assist and advance research in computer science and information technology in higher education and research institutes;
• to assist and advance teaching and research in computer science and information technology in higher education;
Write a clear and well thought out easy on the following problem as a community manager or emergency manager. The Hazard Vulnerability Assessment shows there are population groups that are most at risk in a natural disaster (FEMA’s all-hazardous approach). Describe at lease five threaten groups and the problems for your community. What are the groups or population that these threats might target or harm?
Technical Requirements:
Length: Minimum of 2 pages, double spaced, 1″ margins, 12 pitch type in Times New Roman font.
Citations/References: You must use the APA style for this assignment.
The final assignment asks you to develop a short research plan that will become the foundation of your DBA program. This plan will evolve as you proceed in your program. Much of this document will be useful in your dissertation, especially the literature review. The headings for each section are in bold below, followed by what is needed in each section.
Provide a short introduction to your research. Often this is a sentence or two that says why there is a problem, what the problem is generally, and what you plan to do. Essentially, this section gives the reader an idea of what they will see in the rest of the document.
Identify the research topic. Justify that this topic is both a business topic and an applied topic. (Length: about one-half page)
Identify a theory or conceptual framework that could be used for your study. Justify how it relates to your topic. (Length: one half to one page)
Provide a three-page literature review that covers the following:
Discuss your planned methodology. In future courses, you will explore methodologies in greater detail. At this stage, you are simply exploring options as to how you could study this research topic. It is recommended that you avoid mixed methods research as the time involved is significantly greater than a single method. (Length: one half to one page)
Planned population/data collection. If you plan to do interviews, who will you interview? If you plan to collect data from a source, what will that source be? (Length: one half to one page)
Discuss areas you feel you need additional knowledge to complete your research (e.g., statistics if you plan a quantitative study, how to perform interviews if you plan to do a case study).
Bring the entire study goal to a summation. This should be a short paragraph of what you would like to do, why you would like to do it, and what you will need to learn to do it effectively.
Length: 7-10 pages
References: Include a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journals using your citation manager of choice.
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Consider the poems assigned for this lesson and choose one that you are interested in or intrigued by.
Find at least two images and/or symbols within the poem.
Write a 200-300 word one-paragraph analysis of the poem’s use of imagery and/or symbolism. Your analysis should include a topic sentence, examples from the poem, internal citations, and analysis. Do not consult any outside sources for this assignment, which should be submitted as an attached Word document in MLA format. Include the name of the poem and poet.
Remember that an analysis of literary elements includes your explaining what they mean and why they are important. If, for example, you have identified a door as a symbol, be sure to explain how it is used in the poem, what it symbolizes, and how it relates to the poem’s overall meaning. Include quotes from the poem, but rely mostly on your own analysis of how and why the poet used the symbol.
Poems:
Example:
Topic sentence template: “Poem ABC” by Poet Lady uses _____________ (imagery or symbolism) to convey the ____________ (idea, feeling, or concept) of _____________.
Utilize this agenda for 10 hints to help make that paper great.
1. Know the Assignment
Rule #1 – ensure you are following the task. Ensure you comprehend the necessities and desires. To what extent should the paper be? Do you have to incorporate explicit sources? Do you have unfenced of point, or is there a particular brief?
2. Start With A Good Argument
What are you expounding on? What is this paper attempting to demonstrate or appear? Don’t simply type each idea in your mind in quest for that 2000 word tally. Your paper should show an attentive, very much explained contention that arrives at a nuanced resolution.
3. At that point Back It Up – Support Your Argument
Having a solid postulation explanation is central for any great paper. How would you demonstrate your perspective? With proof! Source and source and refer to some more. Essential sources should concentrate on scholarly sources (investigate diaries, papers, books and so on). Auxiliary sources can be increasingly different (magazines, interviews and so forth.). Clearly the kinds of sources required will rely upon the paper and the task. A few Professors require a base number of sources. Ensure you’re continually following your composing brief.
4. Edit and Proofread Again
Grammatical errors ARE DEATH. Poor spelling and sentence structure slip-ups can significantly hurt your last grade. Furthermore, never depend on or trust autocorrect or spelling checkers to get on everything. Check paper rater to know whether your assignment is good. Professionals will review your paper.
“The rule purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of whether on gorilla fighting in Asian.”
The entirety of the above is spelled effectively, but then absolutely off-base. Try not to let this transpire.
5. Let’s assume It In Your Own Words – Don’t Plagiarize
This ought to abandon saying – however don’t be a copycat. Written falsification is an infringement of each school’s scholarly code. Utilize your very own voice and words when you compose. With the measure of assets online it very well may be enticing to simply duplicate and glue. In any case, take every necessary step and never take from different sources. Numerous schools have literary theft checking programming that will get written falsification. It isn’t justified, despite any potential benefits.
6. Keep away from Words You Don’t Know
Extending your jargon is praiseworthy (see what I did there?) however in the event that you don’t generally comprehend the word or expression don’t utilize it in your paper. Try not to want to pepper your paper with your old SAT vocab words. On the off chance that you utilize a word erroneously, it ruins your contention – and educators can see directly through it.
7. Try not to Use These Words
To start with, second, and third are changes that ought to be utilized sparingly and scattered inside sections, instead of to start each passage. Without a doubt, it’s alright to state, “First, Melvin figured out how to chill through the mending forces of hot yoga.” Beyond that, identifying the entirety of your focuses is somewhat essential and abused.
Stay away from good for nothing filler words. Also, precisely, genuinely, and at the same time are not valuable in shaping or demonstrating a contention. Evacuating examples of verbosity will make your language sound cleaner and increasingly refined.
8. Compose and Revise
Congratulations, you completed a first draft. Presently the difficult work begins. Furthermore, in some radiance. Ensure you read through the paper so anyone might hear to yourself. This will assist you with getting significant blunders yet additionally assist you with checking on your contention. Genius TIP you can likewise duplicate and glue your paper into Google interpret and have it perused back to you. Hearing your paper read resoundingly can give you another point of view, and will help with altering.
9. Get Feedback – Don’t Be Afraid to Get Help
Each get essayist has an extraordinary proofreader. Regardless of whether that is somebody to help edit and check for botches, or only somebody to help direct you to a superior spread out contention. Utilize every one of the assets accessible to you. There’s no disgrace in getting scholarly help, and it’s in every case great to have somebody investigate your work before you turn it in.
