ASA style is a widely accepted format for writing university research papers in the field of
Style Guide, which is published by the American Sociological Association, the main scholarly organization for academic sociologists in the United States. The ASA Style Guide, published by the American Sociological Association
, is designed to aid authors preparing manuscripts for ASA journals and publications.
General features
ASA style is closely related in appearance and function to APA (American Psychological Association) style. As with
MLA style. Also unlike MLA style, parenthetical references include the year of publication. The "author-date" in text citation system is a readily recognizable feature of ASA style. This emphasis on dates is carried over into the references section, where the date is the first piece of information to follow the author's or authors' name(s).[1]
Software support
ASA style is supported by most major reference management software programs, including Endnote, Procite, Zotero, Refworks, and so forth, making the formatting of references a fairly straightforward task.
