Annotated Bibliography in CEP Style

Annotated Bibliography in CEP Style 

Papertrix, "Bibliography" 8/28/05 via flickr. Public Domain Dedication.

There are many different citation styles to be used depending on what field of engineering you are in. Although I could not find a specific style that all optical engineers are supposed to use I read that many chemical engineers and general engineers use the CEP citation style. The following is the annotated bibliography for all of my sources used thus far throughout the controversial topic unit. 

• Jones, C., "Amid controversy, construction of telescope in Hawaii halted", Science X Network, April 7th, 2015. Found at: http://phys.org/news/2015-04-controversy-telescope-hawaii-halted.html
• The purpose of this article was to inform readers of the large controversy regarding the building of the the next largest telescope on Hawaii's sacred landmark, Mauna Kea. This article in specific conveys the feelings of fear and anxiety regarding the telescope construction and the subsequent shutdown of the building site due to the countless arrests. Major findings included that there had been much noticed protest regarding the construction on the mountain and the subsequent discussions begun regarding it, a good think because many people had hopes of overcoming the issues. This article will be helpful further on in the process to recall the early stages of the debate and how people were affect on both sides of the argument. 
• Dickerson, K. "5 ways the world's most controversial telescope could revolutionize astronomy", Business Insider, June 2nd, 2015. Found at: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-tmt-could-revolutionize-astronomy-2015-6
• This article is meant to inform readers of the major scientific advancements that will be accomplished if the new telescope is built in Hawaii. Although it beings by citing the ongoing controversy regarding the construction of the innovative technology the main focus of the article is to inform regarding how the TMT will "revolutionize astronomy". This article is important because rather than just repeating what each side's major arguments are it delves into the importance of the telescope being built. For future use I believe this article will come in handy to help bolster reasons for being a proponent of the astronomers' work. 
• University of Hawaii, "Scientists on TMT: Not Of One Mind", LexisNexis, May 19th, 2015. Found at: http://www.lexisnexis.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/lnacui2api/auth/checkbrowser.do?ipcounter=1&cookieState=0&rand=0.9942764696377079&bhjs=1&bhqs=1
• This article delves into the notion that not all of the astronomers are on the same side regarding building the telescopes. While many are strong proponents of it, there are also a number of astronomers who feel for the native people and don't want to go through with the building because they don't want to interfere with the native lands. This is a very interesting finding because usually you would think that all of the astronomers would be interested in furthering the research in their field but knowing that some of them are on the native Hawaiian's side of the argument gives them a stronger basis for support. This article will be helpful later on when finding the main arguments and support of the anti-telescope creation group. 
• University of Hawaii, "On Mauna Kea, Astronomers and Hawaiians Can Share the Skies", LexisNexis, May 29th, 2015. Found at: http://www.lexisnexis.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/lnacui2api/api/version1/getDocCui?oc=00240&hnsd=f&hgn=t&lni=5G3F-JYW1-J9XT-P0C2&hns=t&perma=true&hv=t&hl=t&csi=270944%2C270077%2C11059%2C8411&secondRedirectIndicator=true
• This article is different than the previous articles because the author seems to be a proponent of helping the astronomers and the natives come to some sort of agreement on the building of the telescope. The University cites valid reasons for the telescope to be built while also providing ways that the astronomers could be more courteous to the native Hawaiian people. This article will be helpful in the future because it will be good to have an article that varies from all the other informational ones and instead provides a solution to the problem rather than just being more descriptive about the controversy at hand. 
• Honolulu Civil Beat, https://storify.com/civilbeat/mauna-kea-and-tmt  [Internet], Storify, April 9th, 2015
• This social media post concisely summed up the major points of either side of the controversial telescope issue. The post brought attention to the reasons the native Hawaiian's yearn to keep pure their sacred ground while also explaining the past events which have led the astronomers to believe they are in the complete right for wanting to use the land which was specifically set aside for them. This social media source is helpful because it gives the straight facts behind the controversy and provides an alternative type of source to use as a resource. 
• Chitnis, Rucha, "https://twitter.com/ruchachitnis/status/586287746114785280/photo/1" [Internet], Twitter, April 9th 2015. 
• This picture was posted to social media during the heated debate regarding the TMT telescope. It depicts young children project their communities anger at the astronomers' building on their sacred land that they have always considered theirs. It is a very useful and effective source because rather than just explaining and discussing what is going on it shows first hand what the native Hawaiian's are feeling which drives home the feelings that they are having. I will later on use this article as a good visual depiction of the controversy to show how important it is that it even has young children involved in it. 

After creating annotated bibliography entries for deadline 2 I realized that the MLA style is a better style to use to cite sources in general engineering rather than using the CEP style which is usually used for Chemical engineering. The citation guide for the MLA style is found in our assigned reading book as well here and a sample citation can be found here.  

• Fox, Chloe. "Everything You Need To Know About The Viral Protest Against A Hawaii Telescope." The Huffington Post. n.p., 4/13/15. Web. 9/8/15. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/13/hawaii-telescope-protests-tmt-mauna-kea_n_7044164.html>.
• This source recalls the top twenty most important ideas revolving around the telescope controversy and how each individual fact or movement has affected the entire debate. While providing not only information but also visual depictions of the conflict the article brings to light the extreme tensions being drawn while also explaining how this debate has spread so far. 
• The Associated Press. "Hawaii Supreme Court Case Hears Mauna Kea Telescope Case." The New York Times. n.p., 8/27/15. Web. 9/8/15. <http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/08/27/us/ap-us-giant-telescope.html>.
• This is the most recent article I was able to find on the internet pertaining to the TMT controversy in Hawaii. This articles specifically discussed the beginning of the trial regarding the telescope, reviewing that opening arguments began in the end of August and the courts already seemed to be favoring the natives due to the unequal balance of the trial. 
• The Editorial Board. "Star-Crossed on a Hawaiian Mountain." The New York Times. n.p., 5/2/15. Web. 9/8/15. <http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/03/opinion/sunday/star-crossed-on-a-hawaiian-mountaintop.html>.
• This article from The New York Times recalls the incidents which occurred in early may on Mauna Kea. There were a number of arrests made of protestors and the support and backing which the project as a whole had obtained ended up being disrupted due to the massive outcry by the native people. The major point of this article is to emphasize the ability of both the astronomers and natives to coexist simultaneous in harmony.  
• Hofschneider, Anita. "Hawaii Governor Announces Support for Controversial Telescope." The Huffington Post. n.p., 5/26/15. Web. 8/9/15. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/26/governor-ige-thirty-meter-telescope_n_7447234.html>.
• The article indicated above regards the surprising decision for the Hawaii governor to take sides in the telescope controversy within the state. It relays the fact that governor spoke out in support of the native people and their attempt to keep the sacred island more pure. While he tends to lean towards allowing this last telescope to be built it is clear that he believes it should be the last telescope to be built on Mauna Kea. 

Unfortunately I could not locate another blog that uses the same citation style as my own but I was able to find that of another engineer using the IEEE style. Aaron's annotated bibliography was done in this style and it is pretty straight forward.  That being said, I think there are varying levels of difficulty found in different types of citation methods. By looking at his I realized that I may not have done mine completely right, in the general sense, which is something I should work on as we go forward in the course. Gabee's blog post was done in the APSA style. I had never heard of this style before but after reading the example and guide it seemed to make sense. After reading both of the blogs I tried to determine what the right amount of writing in the annotation is and I think that it needs to be concise and to the point but also long enough to emphasis why the writer chose that specific piece of information to use in their writing. I think I need to work on making sure that my citation style is the correct one for my major and then going on to ensure that I input all the information from the article that needs to be in the citation.
