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

Glikson, Andrew. 2006. “Comment on ‘Zircon Thermometer Reveals Minimum Melting Conditions on Earliest Earth’ I.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 311 (5762): 779; author reply 779.

A journal article with 2 authors

Spero, Howard J., and David W. Lea. 2002. “The Cause of Carbon Isotope Minimum Events on Glacial Terminations.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 296 (5567): 522–525.

A journal article with 3 authors

Barnes, Stewart E., Jun’ichi Ieda, and Sadamichi Maekawa. 2014. “Rashba Spin-Orbit Anisotropy and the Electric Field Control of Magnetism.” Scientific Reports 4 (February): 4105.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Dixit, Ram, Jennifer L. Ross, Yale E. Goldman, and Erika L. F. Holzbaur. 2008. “Differential Regulation of Dynein and Kinesin Motor Proteins by Tau.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 319 (5866): 1086–1089.

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

An authored book

Web sites

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for History and Anthropology.

Blog post

Hale, Tom. 2016. “Nearly A Third Of All Seafood Is Mislabeled, But This Could Be Good For Sustainability.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/nearly-a-third-of-all-seafood-is-mislabeled-but-this-could-be-good-for-sustainability/.

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. 1973. Substitution of Shore Leave for Sick Leave. B-171947. 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

Roan, Robert. 2017. “Depth and Digital in Conversation: Practicing Marriage and Family Therapy Directly With Video Game Avatars.” Doctoral dissertation, Carpinteria, CA: Pacifica Graduate Institute.

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

Grynbaum, Michael M., and John Herrman. 2016. “Once an Outlier, Breitbart Rises to Potent Voice.” New York Times, August 27.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Glikson 2006).
This sentence cites two references (Glikson 2006; Spero and Lea 2002).

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

Two authors: (Spero and Lea 2002)
Three authors: (Barnes, Ieda, and Maekawa 2014)
4 or more authors: (Dixit et al. 2008)
