Citing Your Work

Your professor is happy for you to use any citation style as long as you are consistent 

1) Chicago Manual of Style Online: Description: A style guide for American English published by the University of Chicago Press. It deals with aspects of editorial practice, from American English grammar and usage to proper citation style, used in document preparation. Print Edition: REFDESK Z253 .U69   PURDUE'S OWL site: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/01/ contains information on The Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting and citation.

2) A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations [Turabian]
Reference Desk LB369 .T8 1996

For suggested ways to cite Internet sources consistent with Turabian's style, see A Brief Citation Guide for Internet Sources in History and the Humanities

3) The American Journal of Archaeology, the journal of the Archaeological Institute of America, provides submission guidelines for their authors:  AJA guidelines (specifically this author instruction pdf)

  • Notes. AJA does not use in-text citation, except for references to primary ancient sources. Notes should be formatted as endnotes, not footnotes; they should be numbered in one series, double-spaced on pages assembled at the end of the text. Notes must be formatted according to the guidelines given below (§4.3). Authors should make every effort to reduce lengthy, discursive notes.
  • Works cited/ Bibliography End with a list of all works cited, in alphabetical order by last name of first author. For further information, consult Chicago Manual of Style. 

  • Abbreviations of journal and series titles and standard works should conform to the current list in AJA (page 17).

 

Plagiarism

Using the work of another scholar without proper citation, whether that work is available in print or online, is plagiarism, a violation of the Emory Honor Code. It is extremely easy for professors to discover work plagiarized from web sources -- they know how to use Google at least as well as you do, and there are many online tools available specifically to help educators detect plagiarized work.
