APA style in SOC?

[always guest]

Hello all,

this may sound a little bit ignorant but can you use APA citation style in a sociology dissertation? I like it better than ASA style.

Have a wonderful and productive break folks

Thanks ;D

You need to check with your department. I've seen some sociology dissertations using APA, but my department required that we use ASA. Personally, I think we ought to use ASA style more. I've seen several sociology journals using APA (or a variation of it), but why privilege the APA over ASA?
