Family, Given Middle.ASA references: keep author–year metadata consistent
ASA is common in sociology and related social-science work. Review author names, publication year, title capitalization, journal/book details and page information before submission.
The generator handles deterministic formatting, but it cannot decide whether your instructor or journal has local deviations from the standard style.
- Check author and year first.
- Verify journal/book publication details.
- Review any course- or journal-specific exceptions.

Need the same source in a different style?
ASA and APA are both author–date styles, but capitalization, ordering and source formatting differ. Reuse the verified metadata and review the APA 7 reference rather than treating the styles as interchangeable.
