If you find a reference, citation or non-full text article in ScienceDirect you want to follow up on, try plugging the […]

AnthroSource & Google Scholar: Linking issues

From Google Scholar (or from our own Citation eLinker, for that matter), trying to resolve to the article level via our button results in being dropped at a rather bare AnthroSource page… a journal cover but no volumes to even click on.

AnthroSource Titles: Links **UPDATE**

By irobb on January 6, 2009

American Anthropologist and other AnthroSource links are now working in the ejournal A-Z list. Previously… AnthroSource (the site for journals the American Anthropological Association) has re-vamped their entire website. While it looks great, the links to the journals no longer work. You can go directly to the list of journals here, but hopefully our links […]
