ASA Format
The American Sociological Association Style is intended for use by authors preparing
manuscripts for publication in ASA journals. This handout is intended for students who are
instructed to use ASA style when writing research papers. Consult the American Sociological
Association Style Guide for more detailed information (Ref Desk HM 569.A54 2007).
Manuscript Format
• All text (including footnotes & references) must be doubled spaced and in a
12 point type.
• Margins must be at least 1¼ 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.
Citations in Text
• If author’s name is in the text, follow it with the publication year in parentheses:
When Chu (1977) studied…
• If the author’s name is not in the text, enclose the last name and year in parentheses:
When the study was completed… (Jones 1994).
• If the page number is to be included, it follows the year of publication after a colon, with
no space between the colon and the page number:
…as reported by Chavez (1966:16).
• For three authors, give all last names in the first citation in the text. Afterwards use the
first name and “et al.” For more than three names, use the first author’s last name plus
“et al.” Examples as follow:
Three authors, first in-text citation = (Smith, Garcia and Lee 1954)
Three authors, later in-text citations = (Smith et al. 1954)
More than three authors = (Snow et al. 1999)
• Quotations in the text must begin and end with quotation marks. The citation follows the
end-quote mark and precedes the period, as follows:
“In the late 1990s, reported data shows that technologically oriented jobs paid better”
(Hildenbrand 1999:47).

Footnotes & Endnotes
• Try to avoid footnotes, but if necessary, use footnotes to cite material of limited
availability or to add information presented in a table.
• Footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the essay with superscript
Arabic numerals and included at the bottom of the manuscript page or in a separate
section headed "Endnotes."
Reference List
• References follow the text and endnotes in a separate section headed "References."
• All references cited in the text must be listed and vice-versa.
• Remember: Like all other parts of the manuscript, references should be
double-spaced.
• List references in alphabetical order by author’s last names.
• Use hanging indention (see examples below).
• Invert the author’s name (type it last name first). If there are two or more authors,
invert only the fir ...

Editor's Notes
This is the MLA format for citing a book by one author. Remember, to tab over the second line or any additional lines for that citation. Once you ’ ve gathered all of your resources the final Bibliography or Works Cited page must be given in alphabetical order.
In this example, the reference book did not provide the author ’ s name who wrote the article so it is omitted. Note that where periods and commas are placed.
If the author has a middle initial that is included after their first name followed by one period.
