My summer reading list

I just rebuilt my website using Quarto 🎉 My publication list generates itself from my Zotero library, and papers include links to materials and OA versions. The website's first post is on how to build your own, featuring an app that does all the coding for you: dsquintana.com/posts/quarto...

I'm redoing my academic website in Quatro. Other than publications and contact info, what's the most useful thing you've seen on someone else's? And what tends to be missing?

This summer we went camping around western Norway

Just arrived at NMBU to deliver a workshop on social media for academics. These are always lots of fun to do

APA: “What if we made it even *harder* for people to read papers in our journals?”

Every AI-managed Frontiers invitation that is sent to someone to review a paper that’s comically outside their field of expertise is one less person that will consider submitting their work to Frontiers, as this reveals how poorly their paper will be handled

I did a double-take on this paper title because I didn’t notice it was in mice when reading the first two sentences

Here's an interesting piece on the use of metrics to measure academic performance. We all know that when a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure, but at least metrics distort behavior *visibly* & institutions can choose the ones to reward nicolaijfoss.substack.com/p/coara-and-...

gonna post 100 likely permutations of the World Cup knockout bracket on bsky and then delete all the ones that were wrong after the final and then claim I predicted everything before the tournament to demonstrate p-hacking for my classes next semester

I was really happy to find a link to raw data in paper I was reading, but this is what I found when I clicked on the OSF link. At least it was better than a CSV file with one cell containing the text: "Data available upon reasonable request"

Psychology is in the middle of several overlapping crises—replication, generalisability, theory—but this isn't new. Crisis discussions first appeared in the 1920s (!?). The specific topics have changed but the structure seems kind of similar, maybe we can learn something from this? doi.org/czvw7m

Reminds me of the time I was at a conference in the US and I asked hotel reception the quickest route to walk to a restaurant about 1km away and they seemed stunned I would even suggest walking

Funnel plots and Egger's regression test measure small-study bias, not publication bias, which is a distinction many meta-analyses get wrong. So I made a screencast on how measure publication bias correctly in JASP and R: youtu.be/XiUj4yP8Nsw

What do you think is your most under-recognised paper and why should people be paying more attention? Go on, take the chance to toot your own horn 🎺

New book haul 📚
