  1. Agenda and Schedule • Sept 10 (today) Citations styles continued and Reduction editing • Sept 12 (Thursday) Reduction editing and draft statement for your term paper. • Sept 17 (next Tuesday) Meet at King Library for informational meeting about resources for Anthropology and Behavioral Science. • Sept 19 (next Thursday) Research Questions and research tasks.

  2. Citation Styles Continued AAA Format

  3. AAA format is similar in many respects to AA format so there are only a few new items you need to be aware of.

  4. Examples • Citing from an article or book: same as AA format with author on the first line, date, title, publishing information on second line. • However, do not use italics for source titles. • When using an author’s name in a sentence you do not need to use it again in the citation parentheses.

Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association, Washington, DC, December 4. Wynn, Thomas 1994 Tools and Tool Behavior.

According to AAA standards, defer to Chicago manual style for citing online sources. In-text, cite as if normal print source. But if an online source is anonymous,* you should use abbreviated title in italics.

  7. Citing an online source in refs Lucero, Lisa J. 2011 An Ancient Watery Underworld.

  8. Reduction Editing

  9. As you have already discovered, condensing an article to its key elements in a précis is not an easy task. It gets tougher when dealing with your own writing. • Reduction editing is the process of eliminating redundancy, fluff, clarifying language, reducing verbiage, correcting punctuation, and using precise vocabulary. It is more than cutting as it may require rewriting entire sentences.

  10. Goals this week • Work with examples of writing and rewrite the samples through reduction. This will be a team effort so that you can share thoughts. • Developing ideas for term paper.

  11. Item 1: page from student work • Edit and revise. • Check for citation quality. • Add or correct punctuation as needed. • Be prepared to discuss your changes with the class.

  12. Item 2: page from student term paper • Edit and revise. • Check for citation quality. • Add or correct punctuation as needed. • Reduce wordage.
