About
If you're looking for an efficient way to create annotated bibliographies, ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in your arsenal. As a language model trained by OpenAI, ChatGPT can assist you in generating a list of relevant sources and providing brief summaries of each source. This can save you time and effort in the research process, allowing you to focus on analyzing the sources and developing your argument.

Use specific keywords and phrases when requesting sources from ChatGPT. By providing ChatGPT with specific search terms, you can increase the accuracy of the sources it generates, and reduce the time you spend sifting through irrelevant sources. For example, if you're researching the effects of social media on mental health, you could ask ChatGPT to generate sources using keywords such as "social media," "mental health," "adolescents," and "psychology.”
Provide ChatGPT with clear guidelines for formatting your annotated bibliography. This can include the citation style you're using, the length of the annotations, and any specific requirements your instructor has provided. By providing ChatGPT with these guidelines, you can ensure that the bibliography it generates meets your requirements and saves you time in the formatting process.
Review and edit the annotations provided by ChatGPT. While ChatGPT can provide you with brief summaries of each source, it's important to review and edit these summaries to ensure that they accurately reflect the content of the source and are relevant to your research topic. This can also help you identify any gaps in your research and guide your further reading.
