Sociology

Sociology resources typically use American Sociological Association style. The Owl Purdue website provides examples of how to cite and how to structure a paper the ASA style. Here is a Quick Tip Guide to American Sociological Association (ASA) Style: https://www.asanet.org/wp-content/uploads/savvy/documents/teaching/pdfs/Quick_Tips_for_ASA_Style.pdf

ASA follows this format:

The library can guide you to citation management software and resources to help you properly cite your sources.

- quotes from someone's spoken or written words; or
- paraphrase of  someone's spoken or written words.
