Anthropology: Cite Your Work/Refworks

A style guide describes a specific format for citing material, to which you referred in your work.

As of September 2015, the American Anthropological Association style for all publications is the Chicago Manual of Style

APA Style (American Psychological Association) is a commonly used style in the social sciences.  Borrow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association or use one of the online help guides below.

Quick Guide to APA (From the American Psychological Society)

The University of Waterloo has paper copies of this guide.  We are not currently able to acquire an electronic copy.

RefWorks will allow you to create your own personal citation database easily and quickly by importing references from text files or online databases. You can then can use these references in writing your papers and automatically format your bibliography.
