Author Guidelines

Style sheet for AEER (last updated September 2011)

 

Our preference is for American English orthography.

 

Text:

Times New Roman, 12 pt.

1.15 spacing

1 inch margins top, bottom, left and right

Text should be aligned left

Paragraphs start indented (.5”)

Use “double inverted (“smart”) quotes”

Citations and references should appear in the body of the article (not in footnotes or endnotes): as (Author 2008:55-57).

Place punctuation inside quotation marks: “Punctuation inside quotation marks.”

Numbers: write out numbers one through nine; use numerals for 10 and higher (exception: if a sentence starts with a number, write it out—“Twenty-five years ago…”

 

Longer quotes/extracts (those over 5 lines) should be set apart as separate paragraph and indented (.5”) on both sides (as here).  One space before and after quotes. 

 

Title in Calibri 18 pt font, bold

Author’s name in italics, 12 pt, bold, followed by affiliation in bold

Title and author info single spaced

 

Section headings in bold, left justified:

Introduction

One space before and after subject headings

 

Abstract and Keywords:

 

Please include an abstract summarizing the main points of the article. Also, include five or six keywords. The abstract and keywords should appear directly below the author and author’s affiliation line.

This website is a good place to look for common keywords: http://ressourcesespo.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/anthropological-keywords-2011/

 

Notes:

Use endnotes, not footnotes

Use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), not Roman (i, ii, iii)

Web sites in endnotes should be “hotlinked”

Notes and References Cited are single spaced with one space between each note and reference. 

 

References Cited:

 

Use modified AAA style (see AAA style: http://www.aaanet.org/publications/guidelines.cfm):

Author Last Name, First Name. Date. Article/Book Title. Journal/edited book title.  City:

Publisher/volume(issue): pg.#s.  (Second line should have .5” hanging indent)

 

Photographs:

 

AEER is happy to publish photos with articles, provided proper permissions are obtained from subjects appearing in the photos and/or other interested parties. Please send photographs in .jpg or .tiff format in the highest resolution possible.

 

Word count:

 

No official word limit but articles are generally 6,000 – 10,000 words.
