American Sociological Association Style Guide, Fifth Edition

The ASA Style Guide highlights and features guidelines for the most common situations encountered by authors and editors in the ASA journal publication process. It is designed to serve as the authoritative reference for writing, submitting, editing, and copy editing manuscripts for ASA journals. In practice, however, the ASA Style Guide also serves a wider community of  researchers, writers, and publishers who use it to prepare and present scholarly papers in other sociological and social science venues.
