joc-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript so it reads for the whole field, follows APA 7th edition, and fits the limits (main document <= 35 pages including references/tables/figures/endnotes; abstract <= 150 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Framing the contribution
• Final polish
• Cutting text to fit page limits
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations to APA 7th edition
• Formatting headings
• Anonymizing the manuscript

When not to use

• Generating claims
• Inventing content
