psychbull-writing-style
Use when drafting and polishing a Psychological Bulletin manuscript so it reads as an integrative synthesis and meets APA 7th-edition style plus MARS/PRISMA/JARS reporting structure, including the ≤ 250-word abstract. Guides prose and structure; it does not run the analysis.

# Writing Style (psychbull-writing-style)
Psychological Bulletin prose must do something a primary paper's does not: **integrate and evaluate an
entire literature** while meeting **APA 7th-edition** style and the matching reporting standard —
**MARS** for meta-analyses, **PRISMA** for systematic reviews, **JARS** for quantitative/mixed work.
This skill guides structure and prose; the numbers come from the analysis skills.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or restructuring the manuscript
- Writing the **≤ 250-word abstract**
- Making sure the methods section satisfies MARS/PRISMA item-by-item
- Tightening an over-long or descriptive review into an evaluative argument
