🚨Update: Our analysis of global APC expenditure has now been expanded to cover more publishers (7 -> 14) and more years (2019-2025). We estimate $15B in APCs paid over seven years, $3.7B in 2025 alone. Elsevier crosses the $1B threshold by itself in 2025. arxiv.org/abs/2608.16322 #ScholComm

This work is another part of the large body of evidence showing that structural racism (sorry to the NIH higher ups, but that is exactly what redlining is) has lasting effects of Americans in minoritized communities.

Absolutely, and for EVERY field. There's a reason it's Rule Number 1 I can, objectively, say that I am a quite talented scientist. But I personally know many others more talented who were chewed up by the machine. Because they were unlucky I'm good, but I was also lucky bsky.app/profile/vect...

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >

Excited to share a paper recently accepted at Nature Mental Health! 😄 For decades, we've assumed that covariance among psychopathology informs comorbidity. What if we’ve been wrong?

Much as I appreciate the shout-out, I wish my claim about a desire to destroy universities hadn't been framed as the hyperbolic view of an alarmist social media personality when in fact this is precisely what these people say they are trying to do.

"mice: the only method here that carries imputation uncertainty into the model. Use it whenever the output is an estimate, a confidence interval, or a p-value, the typical medical or epidemiological analysis. Ten years on, it is still the right default for inference."
