LinkedIn Guide: 🖋️ APA 7: Mastering Compound Adjectives 🧠   Did you know APA 7 changed how we format certain compound adjectives? Here's a quick guide: 📌 Use an en dash (–) for compound adjectives where one element is a compound term or phrase.   Example: evidence–based practice   ❌ Old way (APA 6): evidence-based practice  ✅ New way (APA 7): evidence–based practice   Why? The en dash shows a more complex relationship between terms.   🧐Other examples: Cognitive–behavioral therapy Mixed–methods research Theory–practice gap   💡 Pro Tip: Type an en dash by holding Alt + 0150 on the numeric keypad.   Improve your academic writing with these small but impactful changes!   Questions about APA 7?
