Individual skill
joap-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript to fit APA 7th-edition style, the I-O contribution-forward narrative arc, and the article-type length norms (Feature Article commensurate with contribution; tighter Research Report). Tightens prose, structure, and style; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (joap-writing-style)
JAP prose is **theory-forward, precise, and APA 7th-edition** throughout. The introduction must make
the **theoretical contribution unmistakable**, the method and results must be reported to a high
disclosure standard, and the discussion must interpret meaning and boundary conditions — not restate
results. Length is **commensurate with the contribution** (a Feature Article can be substantial; a
Research Report is tighter). This skill fits and polishes; it does not generate claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the Introduction/Discussion or doing final polish
- Writing the structured abstract
- Aligning the manuscript to APA 7th edition before submission
- A reviewer said the writing buries the contribution, over-claims, or wanders
