Citing Sources
You will be adding your voice to on-going scholarly and professional conversations in anthropology. Providing citations is an opportunity to acknowledge your predecessors and contemporaries as you engage with, challenge, and build upon their ideas.
AAA Style
- American Anthropological Association Style GuideAs of the 17th edition, AAA style follows the Chicago Manual of Style particularly in regard to reference citations and Wiley style in regard to in-text citations.
APA Style
- Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition)The official APA style guide published the American Psychological Association.
- Purdue OWL APA Style GuideA trusted resource created and maintained by the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL). It offers formatting and style guidance as well as example papers based on the most recent APA Manual.
Citation Managers
Citation managers are software that allows you to:
- Create bibliographies and references automatically in many styles
- Embed footnotes, end notes, and in-text citations in a document
- Re-use your research over time
You'll still need to review inputs and outputs for accuracy, but their automated capabilities do away with a great deal of menial sorting and organizing.
Zotero is a free, open source citation manager. Your account is not tied to UMass, so you can take your citation library wherever you go.
The library offers an extensive guide to getting started with Zotero.
AAA style is not automatically installed and must be manually added to your Zotero app (instructions).
