this is great news, but it caused enormous stress & wasted huge amounts of time for no reason.

One day our first interaction with colleagues at scientific meetings will not be “how is your lab doing under these disastrous circumstances?”.

Today is not that day.

What a lovely idea! Happy New Year!

Right?!? I'm so glad to not wake up every day with a new Editor assignment (or more). I still have to handle revisions through December 2026 (or beyond), so not quite done yet... but getting closer!

Ending 2025 with 0 pending editor assignments... Its a glorious sight. 🥳

FINALLY!!! Snow will return to the northern mountains this weekend! Accumulations will mainly be above 8,000' with as much as 9" across mountain peaks. Rain chances will also return to areas along/west of the central mountain chain. #NMwx

Thank you for your great service to the journal!

Thanks for all of your amazing work on the Special Issue! I'm so excited for it to be wrapping up and getting out into the world. Such amazing papers!

I will especially miss interacting with all of the many reviewers and authors, and will miss the amazing team at @apajournals.bsky.social, who have supported me in so many ways. I look forward to the future of the journal under the Editorship of Dr. William Corbin. The journal is in good hands. 🙏

It was fun to shape the direction of the journal, including the opportunity to publish special issues and sections, with a banger of a special issue in progress led by @jonasdora.bsky.social @kevinmking.bsky.social @andreahoward.bsky.social @andreawycoff.bsky.social @jtwaddell7.bsky.social.

I accepted over 430 papers during my term, many widely cited and will continue to have a massive impact of the field. My favorite papers have been either methods focused, such as psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... @aaronjfisher.bsky.social
Or focused on health equity in understudied populations.

I have so much gratitude for the tremendous efforts of @kevinmking.bsky.social who brilliantly led the charge to bring open science to the journal. And I was so thrilled when we accepted our first registered report by @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-...

Starting my term as Editor just before the start of the pandemic and wrapping it up in the science/AI hellscape of 2025 has been a wild ride. I am so thankful for my amazing AE team @kevinmking.bsky.social @jenmerrillphd.bsky.social @james-g-murphy.bsky.social and others not on bluesky.

I started as a Consulting Editor for PAB (2006-2013) and then had the opportunity to serve as Associate Editor (2013-2019) under the leadership of the late great Nancy Petry. I took over as Editor in 2020. I will continue wrapping up articles in 2026, thus 20 years of service to the journal.

My last week as Editor of @apajournals.bsky.social Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, and after handling 2400 papers I have thoughts... First, I want to recognize our Top Reviewers of 2025 - thank you all so much for your incredible work. And a huge thanks to all reviewers over the past 6 years!

Thanks for sharing what this looks like. I was curious and hate it all so much. This weird multiverse we are all living in... Glad to hear you have so many others in the hopper - fingers crossed!

I really wish I had a sabbatical coming soon so I could just devote time to reading and re-reading your work - thank you so much for sharing.
