Accessing American Ethnologist through anthrosource

Link to JSTOR's American Ethnologist page

Through a special arrangement with the American Anthropological Association and JSTOR, we are pleased to announce that the full text back issues of American Ethnologist are now available in JSTOR, with a moving wall of seven years.

Members with access to JSTOR through participating institutions (see http://www.jstor.org/about/participation.html for further information) will be able to search and browse the full text of all articles and book reviews from American Ethnologist's founding in 1974 to seven years earlier than the current issue.

There are two addresses for the American Ethnologist. Manuscripts, books for review, and all communications relative to editorial matters are to be sent to Virginia R. Dominguez, Editor, American Ethnologist, University of Iowa, Department of Anthropology, 114 Macbride Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242. All other communications, including subscription information, are to be sent to American Ethnologist 2200 Wilson Blvd Ste 600, Arlington, VA 22201

Manuscript Form.  Double-spacing is required for all materials, including quotations, references cited, notes, captions, and headings. The main text should not exceed 35 double-spaced pages.  Please use 12-point font for all materials. Do not break words at the end of the typed lines.  Use one side only of good quality paper; erasable bond is not acceptable.  Paper must be 8 1/2 x 11 in. (21.6 x 28 cm), with at least a one-inch marginon all four edges. Use AAA style (www.aaanet.org/pubs/style_guide.htm) for the following:

Title Page.  Please give title, author(s), institutional affiliation(s), and current mailing and e-mailing addresses.  Give any acknowledgments at the bottom of this page (these comprise the first unnumbered paragraph of the notes;  the Editor will place them with the notes if the paper is accepted).

Abstract.  Each article-length manuscript must begin with an abstract–a 75- to 100-word summary of the article's scope and findings.  The abstract should end with a bracketed list of up to seven index words or phrases ("key words").

Text References.  References (including references to personal communications) are placed in the body of the text, not as notes.  For each quotation or statement specific enough to need a reference, place the citation in parentheses (author's name, year of publication of work quoted or referred to, page(s) cited), thus: (Doe 1968) or (Rowe 1893:115-119).

Notes.  All notes follow the text as endnotes. The endnotes section begins on a new page, and is restricted to material that is directly relevant to the text.  Notes are numbered consecutively throughout the text by superscript numerals.

References Cited.  The references cited section includes full citation of every publication cited in the text. It must begin on a new page, and all entries must be double-spaced, listed alphabetically by last name of senior author, and chronologically for two or more titles by the same author(s). The typed layout should conform to the printed layout as follows:

Tables.  All tabular material should be separate from the text, in a series of tables numbered consecutively with arabic numerals.  Each table should be typed on a separate page, double-spaced, and identified by a short descriptive title centered at the top.  Notes for tables appear at the bottom of each table and are marked with lowercase, superscript letters.  Marginal notations in the text should indicate approximate placement of tables.

Figures.  All illustrative, nontabular material should be separate from the text, in a series of figures numbered consecutively with arabic numerals.  They must be submitted in a form suitable for publication without redrawing.  Drawings and their lettering should be done in black ink on white illustration board or good quality acetate.  Photographs should be good quality, high-contrast, glossy prints (approximately 8 x 10 in.). Lightly number figures on the back in pencil to key with captions.  All captions should be typed on a single sheet, double-spaced; they need not be full sentences. Marginal notations in the text should indicate approximate placement of figures.

Suggesting Reviewers.  Authors may provide a list of up to five or six individuals (with institutional affiliations) who they feel would be appropriate reviewers.  The editor is not bound by these suggestions, but will respect requests for exclusion of specific reviewers.
