GUIDELINES FOR TERM
PAPERS IN ANTHROPOLOGY
SOURCE MATERIALS:
SCHOLARLY BOOKS AND JOURNAL ARTICLES should form the bulk of your
references (unless completing your own ethnographic research), although
popular magazines and the press may also be useful on
occasion.
INTERVIEW MATERIAL can prove valuable (particularly in providing a
window into cultural beliefs and values), but make sure to clearly
establish your interviewee’s academic credentials IF you are
interviewing someone for their purported expertise.
Use INTERNET sources with CARE: many internet sources are unedited, and
simply represent someone’s opinions. Choose sources that are
edited, are published by recognized academic or research institutions,
and/or are published by people with good academic or other reliable
credentials. Articles from scholarly journals on the internet are
usually a good bet, for example.
IN-TEXT SOURCE CITATIONS:
"Within your paper, cite any and all direct quotations using this
format" (Claussen 2004:12).
If you are not using a direct quote, but are instead summarizing
material from a source you should still provide a source citation in
parenthesis at the end of the section in question, although you do not
need to list page numbers (Claussen 2004).
Films, internet sources, and interviewees should also cited within your
text according to the above format; if unauthored, use the title of the
source in place of the author’s surname.
REFERENCES:
Attach a separate page to the end of your assignment titled REFERENCES
CITED (list only those references actually cited in your work).
List all sources in alphabetical order, e.g.:
Claussen, H. 2001. Unconventional
Sisterhood: Feminist Catholic Nuns
in the Philippines. Ann Arbor:
University of Michigan Press.
Wryter, I. M. 2001. Documenting Sources from
