Citation Styles
ASA (American Sociological Association) format is used by sociologists preparing manuscripts for publication. ASA style is based on The Chicago Manual of Style.
Professors often make clear in their assignment guidelines their expectations for style usage. Many require discipline-specific styles in major courses while allowing more choice in non-major (SO 101) courses.
Always make sure you are clear on the assignment expectations.
