Smith, J. K., & Jones, L. (2020). The impacts of social media on teenager's mental health. Journal of Psychology, 15(3), 123-134. doi:10.1234/jpsych.2020.01503
Apostrophe error – “teenager's” should be teenagers (no apostrophe, plural not possessive).
Journal title formatting – Journal titles should be in title case and italicised: Journal of Psychology (correct capitalisation is fine, just italicise).
DOI format – The DOI should be formatted as a URL: https://doi.org/10.1234/jpsych.2020.01503
Volume and issue formatting – Volume number should be italicised; issue number in parentheses is correct but not italicised.
Authors’ initials – In APA 7, only initials are used, no full first names; “J. K.” and “L.” are fine, but if “Jones, L.” is a first initial only, it's okay. Double-check that this is consistent.
In a well-crafted academic paragraph, how does the the topic sentence, supporting evidence, and analysis contribute to the paragraph’s overall argumentative purpose, and why is mere description insufficient?
The topic sentence establishes the claim or main idea; supporting evidence provides concrete examples or data; analysis interprets this evidence, explaining its relevance and connecting it back to the argument. Mere description is insufficient because it lacks critical evaluation and does not advance the writer’s thesis.
