- An annual, international bibliography that selectively indexes the
professional literature—including books, nearly 600 journals, research
reports, and some translations--in anthropology and related fields. It
follows a classified arrangement, dividing the literature into ten
broad areas—general studies; methods; morphological foundations;
ethnographic studies; social organization and relationships; religion
and magic; problems of knowledge, arts and science, folk traditions;
culture and personality; applied anthropology—all broken down in
greater detail. There is a 1-3 year time lag between the publication
of an article and its indexing.
