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 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

Warren, W. S. 2001. “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Multidimensional Symmetry in a Three-Dimensional World.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 294 (5546): 1475–1476.

A journal article with 2 authors

Linhardt, Robert J., and Toshihiko Toida. 2002. “Tech.Sight. Capillary Electrophoresis. Ultra-High Resolution Separation Comes of Age.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 298 (5597): 1441–1442.

A journal article with 3 authors

Wu, Daw-An, Ryota Kanai, and Shinsuke Shimojo. 2004. “Vision: Steady-State Misbinding of Colour and Motion.” Nature 429 (6989): 262.

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

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2015. “Eight-Year-Old Dies Of Polio In Laos.” IFLScience, IFLScience, October 14. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/8-year-old-has-died-polio-laos/.

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. 2008. Information Technology: Agriculture Needs to Strengthen Management Practices for Stabilizing and Modernizing Its Farm Program Delivery Systems. GAO-08-657. 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

Datta, Aditi. 2017. “Speech Synthesis Using Unsupervised Learning.” 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

Saslow, Linda. 2008. “Playing in Cooperstown, On a Team of Their Own.” New York Times, August 17, 2008.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Warren 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Warren 2001; Linhardt and Toida 2002).

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

Two authors: (Linhardt and Toida 2002)
Three authors: (Wu, Kanai, and Shimojo 2004)
4 or more authors: (Burgo et al. 2013)
