Learning & Documentation

Aligns academic manuscripts with Journal of Marriage and Family standards using modified APA style, structured abstracts, and bias-free prose.

The JMF Writing Style skill assists researchers in drafting and polishing manuscripts for the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF). It ensures papers are tailored for an interdisciplinary family-science audience across sociology, psychology, and demography by front-loading substantive family contributions, defining discipline-specific jargon, and enforcing modified APA formatting. The skill provides precise guidance for creating labeled 200–225 word structured abstracts (covering Objective, Background, Method, Results, Conclusion, and Implications), applying bias-free language for family structures and identities, enforcing double-blind anonymization rules, and trimming content to meet strict journal page limits.
