What is ASA citation format?
ASA (American Sociological Association) format is a citation style used primarily in sociology research papers. It emphasizes author-date in-text citations and a detailed reference list. Proper ASA formatting ensures academic integrity by giving credit to original sources and allowing readers to locate referenced materials efficiently.
How does this tool differ from other citation generators?
This tool specializes in ASA format requirements, including specific punctuation, capitalization rules, and source ordering that general citation tools might miss. It's optimized for sociological research materials and updated with the latest ASA style guidelines (7th edition).
Can I cite multiple authors using this tool?
Yes. For multiple authors, separate names with commas in the author field. The tool will automatically format them correctly using "and" before the last author in citations and alphabetical ordering in references.
