Anthro Citation Style Guide　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　 This is a very short paper showing how to properly cite and format your references for your paper. In general, I follow the Chicago Manual of Style (University of Chicago 1993) reference list format. That means, every time you cite a book such as A Journey into the Deaf World (Lane et al. 1996), you put the name of the authors and the year of the publication within ( ) parentheses.

　　　　 It is important that you use (Author Year) and not (Author, Year). If there are two authors to a book, like (Padden and Humphries 1988) then you just say "and", otherwise use just the first author and "et al." when you have three or more authors, such as the Lane citation above. Chapters out of an edited book are cited the same way, for example (Wiley1994: 143). Notice in this example I have the page number with a colon following the year. If you need to cite more than one author, use semi-colons (Padden and Humphries 1988: 125; Wiley 1994: 143).

　　　　 Even articles out of the popular press are cited the same way, for example (Brand 1988: 64). If the article is not signed, such as this article in a Gallaudet University newsletter, then use the name "Anonymous" for the citation (Anonymous 1982). If you go on to cite material,　 such as the article talking about the "Selma of the Deaf (18)," and it's clear from context where you are citing from, just use the page number. For dictionary or encyclopaedia articles, you can use (Webster 2000: 2384) or (Encyclopaedia Brittanica 2000: 9938).

　　　　 When you are quoting someone, remember that the citations fall outside the " " marks and period.　 Use a signal phrase – i.e, introduce the source of your quote. For example: Richard Senghas said, "Nicaraguan kids are a lot of fun to be around" (2000: 20). Be sure to always have page numbers when you are pulling direct quotations. Note that in this case, I didn't include "Senghas" in the () citation since it's clear from the context who the author is. You can also introduce books this way, for example Nora Groce's (1995) book, Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language.

Another thing is that when you're citing, if you need to "[c]hange the case (upper/lower case), then use square brackets" (Nakamura 2000). In the miscellaneous category, movie citations are just the same as anything else (Haines 1986). Finally, be sure to alphabetize your reference list.
