ASA Style Guidelines from the American Sociological Association |
 |
What's the purpose of ASA?
-
Documentation of sources is necessary not just in research papers but in any written work that contains information from or references to texts outside itself.
-
ASA style is intended for authors who are preparing manuscripts for publication in ASA journals and for students who are instructed to use the style when writing research papers.
How do I use ASA?
Manuscript Format:
-
All text (including footnotes & references) must be doubled spaced and in a 12 point type.
-
Margins must be at least 1 ¼ inches on all four sides.
-
A separate title page including title of paper, name(s) & institution(s) of authors, word count for the manuscript (including footnotes and references), title footnote (includes names, addresses of authors, acknowledgements, credits, and grants).
-
If required, on a separate page provide a short (150-200 word) abstract headed with the title.
-
Begin the text of the paper on a separate page headed with the title of the paper.
