Applied Anthropology for Undergraduates

In-text citations 

• Place citations in parentheses and include the author’s name and the year of publication, with no intervening punctuation, at the end of a sentence or before a comma or semicolon, whenever possible: (Herzfeld 2005).
• Always include page numbers for direct quotations or extensive paraphrases, using an en dash for page ranges: (Herzfeld 2005, 146–47). (Note: page numbers are preceded by a comma, not a colon; this is a major change from the AAA Style Guide.)
• Use semicolons to separate two or more references in a single parenthetical citation and list them alphabetically: (Bessire and Bond 2014; Comaroff 1996; Daser 2014; Foucault 2000).
• Do not include “ed.” or “trans.” in citations (and in the case of books that have been reprinted or updated, do not include the original publication year), as this information will be included on the reference list.
• Use the first author’s last name and et al. for works with four or more authors.
• You may use the following abbreviations: , e.g., and i.e. Do not use ibid., passim, op. cit., and so on. Only very rarely would we use ff., “when referring to a section for which no final number can usefully be given” (CMS 14.156).

Reference list

• Do not embed the reference list in the endnotes.
• Include all sources cited in the text, listed alphabetically by author. Do not include other works that you have consulted, unless you have cited them in text. 
• When including multiple works by the same author, list them chronologically, from oldest to most recent.
• For works published by the same author in the same year, add a, b, and so on, and list them alphabetically by title.
