# Writing Style — Long-Format APA 7th (jpsp-writing-style) JPSP is long-format, but the **introduction and discussion are capped** by section, so the craft is **disciplined length**: a rich, theory-driven narrative that still respects the word budget. This is the opposite of a 2,000-word short report — here you must develop a theory and several studies, yet write tightly enough to fit ASC's 3,500-word or IRGP's 5,000-word intro+discussion limit. ## When to trigger - Drafting the manuscript or tightening it to fit the section's word cap - Writing the abstract (and any limitations statement) - Polishing for the APA Publication Manual (7th edition) ## Section word rules (verify on the live per-section page — 待核实) | Section | Intro + discussion cap | Notes | |---------|------------------------|-------| | **ASC** | introduction + study intros + Discussion + General Discussion **≤ 3,500 words** | | | **IRGP** | introduction + discussion **≤ 5,000 words total**; **≤ 5 studies** in main text | results accessible to general statistical readers | | **PPID** | "as succinctly as possible" — no fixed cap stated | 待核实 | | All | **abstract ≤ 250 words** | a ≤200-word limitations statement may fol

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
