Use when drafting or polishing a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so it reads as cumulative social science, follows APA style, and fits the limits (manuscript no more than 45 double-spaced pages inclusive of references). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

Writing Style (commres-writing-style)
A CR paper must read as quantitative communication science: a clear theory-to-hypotheses build, an
APA-formatted report, and discipline to the 45-page (double-spaced, inclusive of references) limit
(检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This skill is about reaching CR's readership and respecting the format —
not about generating claims.
When to trigger
Drafting the introduction, the "present study / hypotheses" paragraph, or final polish
Over the page limit and needing to cut without losing the argument
Writing the abstract
Aligning citations/headings/statistics to APA before submission
Write as cumulative social science
Front-load the contribution. By the end of the introduction the reader knows the question, the
theory, the hypotheses, and why they matter to communication science. Don't make a reviewer dig.
Theory → hypotheses → method → results → discussion. Use the standard social-science arc; the
introduction builds explicitly to numbered hypotheses (and RQs), which the Results test in order.
Argument-first prose. Lead with claims; use evidence to support them. Avoid "the data show…"
without saying what they show and why it matters for the theory.
Minimize subfield jargon or define it on first use; spell out acronyms. CR is read across
communication science, so a political-comm reader should follow a health-comm paper.
Report results in APA. Integrate statistics into prose per APA (M, SD, test with df, effect
size, exact p); keep tense and notation consistent.
Format to APA
Citations: author-date per APA; one consistent style (manage with Zotero/BibTeX); references
count toward the page limit.
Manuscript: double-spaced; report statistics in line with APA (SDs and effect sizes where
applicable). Verify the current file/format specifics on the SAGE author page.
Anonymize: CR is double-anonymized — no author names/affiliations/acknowledgments in the
main document or supplemental materials; write self-citations in the third person; strip file
metadata; provide a separate title page.
Abstract: concise statement of question, method, and finding (confirm the exact cap on the SAGE
page — 待核实).
Fit the page limit (≤ 45 double-spaced pages, inclusive of references)
