Hi, I have been copyediting an anthropology paper being written for a university in London. The author is an ESL writer, and unsure which writing style to use.

Google doesn't seem to be giving me any clear answers. If it were the US I would use the American Anthropological Association style, but I'm not sure if that is used in the UK.

Are there any British anthropologists who have an idea?

Thanks!

As a general rule, if he's writing for a British university, avoid all US-English spelling and jargon etc. Is there a British anthropological association you acn consult?

AAA style used (for example) here, but not (for example) here.

If it's for coursework, have him ask his professor.
If it's for a journal, google the journal and look for "author guidelines", "notes to contributors" or some such.
