How to format your references using the Asian Anthropology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Asian Anthropology. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Download the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

Solow, Andrew R. 2013. “Global Warming: A Call for Peace on Climate and Conflict.” Nature 497 (7448): 179–180.

A journal article with 2 authors

Nusbaum, Michael P., and Mark P. Beenhakker. 2002. “A Small-Systems Approach to Motor Pattern Generation.” Nature 417 (6886): 343–350.

A journal article with 3 authors

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report

Government Accountability Office. 1994. Department of Transportation: University Research Activities Need Greater Oversight. RCED-94-175. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

News paper articles

New York Times article

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Solow 2013).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:
