Think of it this way: the abstract should also serve as a good press release about the research. The abstract should be one paragraph, 150-200 words in length, using accessible language. If an abstract is needed, it should be on a separate page, immediately after the title page, with the title of the document as the heading. An asterisk (*) by the title refers to the title footnote at the bottom of the page. Include a separate title page with the full title of the manuscript, authors' names and institutions (listed vertically if there are more than one), a running head of the shortened title (60 characters or less), and a complete word count of the document (which includes footnotes and references).Ī title footnote should include the address of the corresponding author (that is – the author who receives correspondence regarding the article), grants/funding, and additional credits and acknowledgements (for papers for sociology classes, this is often not needed). The bibliographical format described here is taken from the American Sociological Association (ASA) Style Guide, 5 th edition.
