curranthro-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — fieldwork and participant observation, interview and archival design for ethnographic/qualitative work, material/contextual analysis for archaeology, and appropriate lab/quantitative design for biological anthropology. CA judges each mode on its own terms with reflexivity, and the design must survive published CA✩ Comments. Strengthens the design; it does not write code or run fieldwork.
