American Anthropologist welcomes manuscripts that originate within a single discipline, as well as those that cross subdisciplines.
In choosing articles for publication, the editors look for articles that are theoretically, methodologically, and empirically important and new. American Anthropologist seeks articles that demonstrate how anthropological research improves our understanding of issues of cultural significance and practical importance in both the present and past.
The main ideas of articles should be comprehensible to nonspecialists. The editors encourage clear writing and straightforward organization, and discourage the overuse of jargon.
