When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Writing the present study or hypotheses paragraph
• Final polish of the manuscript
• Cutting content to meet the page limit
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations, headings, and statistics to APA

When not to use

• Generating claims
• Inventing content
