Writing Style (psci-writing-style)

Psychological Science has one of the most demanding formats in the field. Writing well here means making a high-impact argument in very few words, in APA 7th-edition style, with a structured 150-word abstract. This skill is about fitting and polishing — not generating claims.

When to trigger

• Drafting the Introduction/Discussion or doing final polish
• Over the word budget and needing to cut without losing the argument
• Writing the 150-word abstract
• Aligning to APA 7th edition before submission
