spq-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing a Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) manuscript so it reads for a sociological-social-psychology audience, follows the ASA Style Guide, and fits the word caps (Articles ~10,000 words; Notes ~5,000; abstract ~150 words, non-identifying, with keywords). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Framing the contribution
• Final polish
• Cutting text over the word cap
• Writing the ~150-word non-identifying abstract
• Aligning citations and headings to ASA Style Guide
• Formatting blinded manuscript and separate title page

When not to use

• Inventing content
• Generating claims
