Use when drafting or polishing a Psychological Science manuscript to fit its distinctive word format (Introduction + Discussion + footnotes + acknowledgments + appendices <= 2,000 words combined; Method + Results excluded; 150-word structured abstract) in APA 7th-edition style. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

• Doing final polish
• Cutting text over the word budget
• Writing the 150-word abstract
• Aligning to APA 7th edition

When not to use

• Generating claims
• Inventing content
