How to format your references using the History and Anthropology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for History and 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

Noble, Denis. 2002. “Modeling the Heart--from Genes to Cells to the Whole Organ.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 295 (5560): 1678–1682.

A journal article with 2 authors

Freeman, Brian C., and Keith R. Yamamoto. 2002. “Disassembly of Transcriptional Regulatory Complexes by Molecular Chaperones.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 296 (5576): 2232–2235.

A journal article with 3 authors

Brohawn, Stephen G., Ernest B. Campbell, and Roderick MacKinnon. 2014. “Physical Mechanism for Gating and Mechanosensitivity of the Human TRAAK K+ Channel.” Nature 516 (7529): 126–130.

Blog post

Andrews, Robin. 2017. “African Penguins Are Dying Out Thanks To Climate Change.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/environment/african-penguins-dying-out-climate-change/.

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. 2016. Vehicle Cybersecurity: DOT and Industry Have Efforts Under Way, but DOT Needs to Define Its Role in Responding to a Real-World Attack. GAO-16-350. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Shroff, Nitesh. 2012. “Efficient Sensing, Summarization and Classification of Videos.” Doctoral dissertation, College Park, MD: University of Maryland, College Park.

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

Philipps, Dave, and Ben Hubbard. 2017. “U.S. Soldier Who Survived Fatal Attack by a Jordanian Tells His Story.” New York Times, July 25.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Noble 2002).
This sentence cites two references (Noble 2002; Freeman and Yamamoto 2002).

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

Two authors: (Freeman and Yamamoto 2002)
Three authors: (Brohawn, Campbell, and MacKinnon 2014)
4 or more authors: (Liu et al. 2014)
