Core Bibliographic Databases
Use these disciplinary indexes to literature in the field of anthropology and the broader social sciences as your core search tools. Then use the more specialized indexes in the next section to home in on more focused collections of literature.
- Anthropological Literature This link opens in a new windowLate 19th century to present.
From the Tozzer Library at Harvard, Anthropological Literature is the major index to international periodical articles and essays in the discipline. Use the Find It button to get full text online or in print. - AnthroSource This link opens in a new window(Searches through citations, subject indexing, and some full text)
Contains the full-text of the journals, newsletters, and bulletins of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Covers 1960 - current. - Annual Reviews This link opens in a new window(Searches through citations, subject indexing, and abstracts) Articles in this collection offer comprehensive summaries of the state of research on topics from many disciplines in the sciences and social sciences. To search the Annual Review of Anthropology, type "Anthropology" in the Published In field, and select the journal title. This will ensure all results come from this publication.
- Sociological Abstracts This link opens in a new windowMain index to the discipline of sociology, but covers many core anthropology journals as well.
- Social Sciences Citation Index This link opens in a new window(Searches through citations, subject indexing, and some full text)

Note: To do cited reference searching, click on "cited reference search," fill in an author's last name and publication date, figure out which of the resulting list of citations match the work you're looking for, and then "finish search" to see who has cited that work.
