The ASA Style Guide provides instructions for authors preparing research papers for review and publication. The latest edition is 124 pages; up from 40 pages in the last edition. This page will soon (Winter 2009-2010) be updated to match. The old The Writer's Guide to ASA Style uses an antiquated reader that Microsoft no longer includes with Windows Vista and perhaps Windows 7. However, it is easy to install yourself. Search Microsoft's site or the web for "winhlp32." |
The Writer's Guide is an electronic style guides that navigates much like a web site, but with added indexing and search capabilities. It works with a reader already installed with the Windows® operating system. The guide follows the ASA Style Guide as closely as possible, but also reflects features of the style as published in the American Sociological Review. The result is a research style that readers familiar with ASA publications will find eminently appropriate and correct in class papers. The ASA Writer's Guide was revised and updated in November 2004. |

Reorganized and expanded, the third edition of the ASA Style Guide is the first update since 1997. It has expanded guidelines to bring greater clarity and emphasis to issues from previous editions, including new sections on guidelines for preparing manuscripts, guidelines for electronic sources, foreign language and legal usages, conventions internal to the ASA, and a checklist for submission of manuscripts to ASA journals. The ASA Style Guide aims to establish uniformity and consistency in style among ASA publications, to provide an authoritative reference source on style issues for authors who are writing for ASA journals, and to summarize basic issues on effective writing for authors in general. |
