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 reference managers.
BibTeX	BibTeX styles 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

Miller, Aline F. 2007. “Materials Science. Exploiting Wrinkle Formation.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 317 (5838): 605–606.

A journal article with 2 authors

Bringmann, Henrik, and Anthony A. Hyman. 2005. “A Cytokinesis Furrow Is Positioned by Two Consecutive Signals.” Nature 436 (7051): 731–734.

Blog post

Fang, Janet. 2015. “Researchers Uncover The Human ‘Death Smell.’” IFLScience, IFLScience, September 23. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/what-cadaver-dogs-are-smelling/.

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. 1975. Follow Through: Lessons Learned From Its Evaluation and Need To Improve Its Administration. MWD-75-34. 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

Peng, Edwin. 2017. “Teaching and Coaching Brazilian Jiujitsu: An Instructional Manual.” Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach.

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

Stewart, James B. 2016. “Momentum for Tax Reform, Thanks to Trump’s Tactics.” New York Times, November 3, 2016.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Miller 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Miller 2007; Bringmann and Hyman 2005).

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

Two authors: (Bringmann and Hyman 2005)
Three authors: (Puntes, Krishnan, and Alivisatos 2001)
4 or more authors: (Liu et al. 2014)
