One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

Assuming we are going to use impact factors to evaluate journals, why do we use 2-year impact factor instead of 5-year impact factor? The latter would seem to be much more reliable as an indicator...

Many congrats and thanks to @renemottus.bsky.social for planning and executing a marvelous European Conference on Personality this past week Edinburgh didn’t disappoint, and I got to do a biennial stadtbummel with two of my favorite people and collaborators: Aleksandra Kaurin and Whitney Ringwald

Hey folks, I will be offering my SMaRT workshop on quant methods for meta-analysis in August this year (Aug. 10-11; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). There is some more info on the website and in the post below, but feel free to shoot me a message/email with any questions!

Have trouble sleeping or know someone who does? Here's a webinar that covers typical sleep patterns, when a sleep problem becomes insomnia, and what treatments work. Sign up or share with someone who might need it. Info in the attached pics.

Exciting day. My set-theoretic reconceptualization of the DSM (w/ MDD, GAD, and PTSD as empirical examples) is out today in JPCS, along with four invited commentaries and my response. I'm biased, but I recommend all six papers. I was really jazzed by all four commentaries. 1/25

Screenshot of a portion of the most recent TOC for the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. Shows a target article for a recent set-theoretic reconceptualization of the DSM, four invited commentaries, and a response.

As many have pointed out, open science methods don't make research strong. But I think they function like nutrition labels--they let you see what's in the study and decide whether you want to consume it. Some will still be happy with a diet of junk, but others will demand healthier evidence.
