Writing Resources
Citations
Although individual instructors may have particular criteria for their assignments,
all writing in Sociology classes should conform to disciplinary standards for citations
and references. Use the American Sociological Association (ASA) Style Guide to include citations for the articles, books, and internet sources that have provided
concepts, claims, or data that are relevant to the paper. All Sociology faculty have
copies of the ASA's Style Guide; there is also a review copy of the guide in the Sociology/Criminology Office, although
this copy cannot be removed. A short version of the Style Guide for students writing Sociology papers is available at this link: ASA_quick_style_guide.pdf.
