# Writing Style (psci-writing-style)
Psychological Science has one of the most demanding formats in the field. Writing well here means
making a high-impact argument in **very few words**, in **APA 7th-edition** style, with a **structured
150-word abstract**. This skill is about fitting and polishing — not generating claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the Introduction/Discussion or doing final polish
- Over the word budget and needing to cut without losing the argument
- Writing the **150-word** abstract
- Aligning to APA 7th edition before submission
