Document 2: IT-Topic Annotated Bibliography
Topic: Choose a technology topic that interests you. It may take some searching the Purdue Global Library and the Internet to know exactly what topic you wish to choose, so plan your time accordingly.
Chosen Topic: Dealing with Rising Threat of Rasomware
Identify your research question. The discussion board in this module is a nice place for your professor to help you focus your efforts as you choose the most interesting and appropriately-written open-ended question.
Research question: What are the best practices to mitigate rasomware attack
Research: You need exactly four sources as listed below. To locate appropriate works, reference the module reading. Sources used for previous Assessments may not be chosen again; look for all new materials.
Two peer-reviewed professional journal articles from the Purdue Global Library. [ATTACHED]
You must be able to access the full article, not just the abstract.
When you look in the Library, make sure you have chosen work identified as Academic Journal articles, not magazines or other types of sources.
One ebook found in the Purdue Global Library, either from Skillsoft, EBSCO ebooks, or OReilly. [ATTACHED]
This must have human authorship specified.
One website article with identified human authorship and specified publication date. [ATTACHED]
This may be an informational site or news; do not use a white paper, journal article posted online, or vendor sales site.
Check the Citation-Referencing Take-Away PDF to verify the formula and use of italics depending on the type of web source you ultimately choose.
While there are other means to locate the journal articles and ebook, your professor must have easy access to your materials, and therefore use of the University Library is required for those items. Additional source parameters:
All sources chosen must have been published within the last 6 years.
Remember that website copyright dates do not indicate when the content was published; look for a specific publication date.
Your instructor will have access to the Purdue Global Library to validate journal and ebook choices. While you may have a subscription to some specialized online resources, any non-Library works chosen for your Assessment document (for the web-based source) must be readily available to the professor for review without login. This means the web source for this document must be easily accessed by a simple click on the URL.
. Do not include Wikipedia or other encyclopedias or dictionaries, user-input sites, forums, casually-written blogs, etc. If the appropriateness of any source is in question, email your instructor well before submitting the work to ask for guidance.
Writing: for each of your four sources:
Provide a complete 7th edition APA-standard reference entry.
Follow the entry with an annotation of 150180 words:
Paragraph 1: A summary of the sources content, without adding opinion, quotes, or citation.
Paragraph 2: An evaluation of the source itself (not of the technology). Include commentary about the following:
Author and/or sponsor credentials and reputation (follow links if possible)
Writing clarity, organization of ideas, and/or readability
Appropriateness of links and/or sources listed, or lack of source information
Optional: imagery, writing style, currency of information, any noted shortcomings
Additional requirements:
Include your research question.
Write the annotations in paragraph form (no lists, tables, or images).
Do not quote from your sources. Write entirely in your own words (paraphrase and cite).
Do not include in-text citation; the formatting of an annotated bibliography makes it clear which information comes from each source.
Your writing must follow the rules for formal writing. Do not use first person (I, me, my, myself, we, us, our). Avoid wording that may be construed as emotional or opinionated.
Your documents title must be brief and descriptive of your topic.
Do not use your question as the title; it will be far too long.
Use title case.
Option: Follow a very short title with a colon and the words An Annotated Bibliography. For example, Technologies for Voting: An Annotated Bibliography
Alphabetize the sources by the first letter of each entry.
Formatting
Start with a new Word document. Use of a template or reuse of previously-used formatted documents is not allowed.
Review the Formatting Take-Away PDF and look for the section that specifically addresses annotated bibliographies.
Check the example in the Module Reading PDF.
Do not include an abstract; this is not a paper.
Do not include a separate reference list; this is a reference list.
Do not use Words citation tool or other citation generators; you are expected to learn to create entries on your own.
NB: Please Ihave attached all the four sorce required for this paper.
Journal article : 2 sources
Ebook: 1 source-9 chapters
website: 1 cource
Use APA 7th edition format
