When you write your paper, you'll need to use the citation style recommended by the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Examples are provided on the page that follows. The AAA has published detailed guidelines for papers in the field of anthropology in a style guide that you can download and print. AAA Style is based on the 14th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (1993). Keep in mind that MIRLYN (MCAT) does not use AAA style, so when you cite your sources, you will have to change the order they appear in MIRLYN to Chicago Style.

Examples for preparing citations are provided in this tutorial. The list of works cited are taken from The AAA Style Guide (available in the Undergraduate Library at the Reference Desk), and the University of Chicago Press Frequently Asked Questions page.

Generally, when you use AAA citation style, you note sources in two places: 1) within the text of the paper (parenthetical citation) and 2) in the reference list at the end of the paper. If you cite a source in the text of your paper, that same source should be listed in the reference list.
