An annotated bibliography maker is a tool used to easily create an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources used in a research paper, with annotations or comments on each source that provide a brief summary and evaluation of the sources content. An annotated bibliography maker allows users to quickly enter the necessary information for their bibliography, such as the author, title, and publication date, as well as adding in their own brief description of the source. This description can include the purpose of the source, any strengths or weaknesses it has and how it was used in the research paper.

Annotated bibliography makers can be found online, in libraries, and even in some software applications. Online bibliography makers are easy to use and allow the user to quickly add sources to their bibliography and create a final document with their full list. Libraries often have dedicated bibliography makers, which may include more features than those found online. Software applications can also be used to create an annotated bibliography, such as those offered by Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

Using an annotated bibliography maker saves time and effort that would be spent manually creating a bibliography. It also helps ensure accuracy and consistency between sources as all sources are entered in the same format. Annotated bibliography makers are ideal for students, researchers, and professionals who need to create a comprehensive list of sources quickly.
