ASA Style Lite for Research Papers
ASA Lite is a quick reference to using the style of the American Sociological
Association (ASA) in college research
papers—papers drafted for classes and seminars. Papers drafted for review and publication are formatted for copy
editors and typesetters, they in turn reformat them into articles to be read. These requirements are featured in the
“Instructions to Authors” of the respective journal. Class and conference papers are intended to be read in their draft
form— ASA Lite is a set of instructions to authors writing for these readers. ASA Lite
is based on the most recentthird edition of the ASA Style Guide, 2007.
