Aysha Akhtar's article on the horrors of animal testing is intended to convince the reader of the wrongness of animal testing and try to get the readers to change the current system. In her article the author uses personal experience as well as suggests better protection of the animals and harsher fines for the companies that commit animal welfare violations. While this article is very biased, the author possesses credibility in the fact that she is a doctor, neurologist, and public health specialist. In addition she brings up many interesting statistics, findings, and ideas that I can use. I also plan to use her as an excellent example of someone who is very anti-animal testing.

Allison Aubrey's article on animal testing brings important facts about this experimentation and the legislation that is being fought for on this topic. This article encourages normal people to push the legislation through and end the animal testing that happens in laboratories. This article takes quotes from both sides and gets some of the important facts out. I plan to use this article to show a fairly unbiased side with good use of direct quotes within.
Emotional Mojo. Human Undergoes Animal Testing [Internet]. 2013 [Cited 2015 September 8]; Available from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYN3O2fdp4
Emotional Mojo's video on Youtube is intended to show the audience an example of a demonstration by animal right's activists to show the horrors of animal testing. This video showed a prominent animal rights activist who put together a demonstration in which she played the "animal" and someone performed various gruesome "experiments" on her to show what the animals in labs go through. This video gives a different perspective on the topic, and makes the watcher see animal testing from the perspective of a human watching another human be tortured. I plan to use this video as an example of what activists are doing to get the message out and it will be very useful in that it is a completely new take on the subject.
Alan M. Goldberg and Andrew N. Rowan's article on this subject provides the Biological world with methods that would make the testing less unpleasant for the animals involved. The Biological community could use these alternatives to minimize the disagreements on the topic of animal testing. The authors suggest cell cultures as an alternative. I plan to use this as a very scholarly source of information and ideas on ways to compromise the issue.
Huang S. China Ends Animal Testing Rule for Some Cosmetics [Internet]. 2014 [Cited September 8]; Available from: http://sinosphere.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/china-ends-animal-testing-rule-for-some-cosmetics/?_r=0
Shaojie Huang's article informs the reader of changes in animal testing policy in the world today. This article states that China has ended its policy about required animal testing and opened up other options for cosmetic testing. Previously China had a policy that required animal testing in the making of their cosmetic products. This article is another interesting example of animal testing throughout the world, and I plan to use it for this purpose as well as for the policy change in the world. I think one of the most interesting aspects of this article is that it brings up a Chinese animal testing policy that is behind in the times compared to other countries in the world, and I plan to use this to show the differences in progress and policies throughout the world.

Monica Engebretson's article on the phasing out and banning of animal tested cosmetics in Russia and Argentina is intended to show its readers the global effort on the animal testing front. The article talks about how Russia and Argentina both introduced bills limiting and eventually phasing out cosmetics that have been tested by animals. I plan to use this article to show that animal testing is an international conflict, and to give an example of the progress that is being attempted to be made worldwide in this issue.

Kaiser J. PETA study finds 'dramatic' rise in use of lab animals in United States [Internet]. 2015 [Cited 2015 September 5]; Available from: http://news.sciencemag.org/plants-animals/2015/02/peta-study-finds-dramatic-rise-use-lab-animals-united-states
Jocelyn Kaiser's article provides the public with up to date knowledge on the controversy of animal testing. This article states in an unbiased way the viewpoints of PETA and the National Association for Biomedical Research. The NABR claims that the rise in test animals is due to the rise in overall research, while PETA says the numbers are highly excessive. I plan to use this source as an unbiased run down of each side's case very basically and clearly stated.

Long Island Orchestrating for Nature- KIDS's post linked to several relevant sites. This post was primarily targeted for its followers, and stated that the sheer number of animals in lab was overkill. This provides some interesting confirmed statistics on animal testing. I plan to use this source for its statistics it contains.

Stefano Lorenzetti's article on the alternative methods to animal testing targets the Biological community. The article claims that in vitro models and cell cultures could potentially satisfy the needs of the research facilities.I plan to use this article to back up the claims in the other scholarly article and interesting alternatives.
Surfcat Cafe and Adoptions. Dr. Lawrence Hansen: Cruel cat experiments unnecessary [Internet]. 2015 [Cited 2015 September 5]; Available
from: https://www.facebook.com/surfcatcafeandadoptions/posts/876582289086574
Surfcat Cafe and Adoptions' post was written for its followers to link them to further education on the topic of animal testing. The article encourages the education of the general public on the topic, and links them to relevant and helpful articles. It also provides a doctor's perspective, and also links to a very interesting project directly relating to what happens to animals after they are released from the laboratories. I plan to use this post and the attached links to give additional evidence and perspective on this topic.
Later on:
The main difference I found when evaluating Lia and Olivia's Annotated Bibliographies was that they did not link to the article directly in the citation, while I was under the impression that you were supposed to. This sort of makes me wonder if I am actually the one that is wrong about this, even though it shows them hyperlinked in the examples?
Lia wrote in the same citation style as I did, and we were very similar in the structure of our citations, which is a definite good sign, and made me feel more confident about my citation.
Olivia however wrote in JAND, and I was just a wee bit jealous of how straight forward her style seemed to be. She did a great job of following her guide, and I like how her bibliography is short and concise and yet still covers all the details needed.
Evaluating my peers' Annotated Bibliographies sort of made my head spin. Its crazy how different the citations for different disciplines can be, and this practice makes citing seem quite complicated. However I can see how in some disciplines it may be more important to specifically state where the articles were found to determine their relevance, where in others it would be less important and as such more precise.

My major uses CSE format for citation as well. Good news – our citations look really similar, for the most part! However, based on the site that I was looking at for guidelines, I added the place of publication and the publisher to my citations. I know that from looking off the site you were using, it didn’t specify for that. Is that something optional? I’m not sure. It seems like having the publisher would be important for articles.
ReplyDeleteAs a suggestion for your social media sources, I would advise you link directly to the post you are citing, not just the user’s page. When I click those links and go to their general Facebook page, the post you used is not obvious, and over time it might be nearly impossible to find, since it will be below many new and more recent posts.
Although my major doesn't use the CSE style of citation, your sources look really good to me! The hyperlinks brought me directly to your source which was really helpful, except for the Facebook ones but that can easily be fixed. There were lots of .org and .gov which looks impressive enough but then the actual sources themselves were impressive too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy major uses CBE style, which is used in a lot of chemistry and engineering fields. Since the fields are similar, you would assume the citations would be too, nope. However your citations looked very similar to those in the example. I also love how you kept your summaries short and to the point. It's a lot less reading to do!

ReplyDeleteMy major definitely does not use CSE style. In fact, I've never even heard of it! Your citations looked very similar to the style guide and your annotations were concise but still informative.
