My Quarto #rstats tip for big/complex papers is to set up R scripts that do data processing/modeling & save plots/outputs as RDS files. The Quarto can then load the RDS file & make any modifications to the ggplot2 object before plotting. This avoids unwieldy long Quarto docs /w complex caching.

9.2% of all citations go to just 0.32% of psychology articles.

To have the most impact, post-publication peer-review should focus on these influential articles with ≥30 citations per year.

@error.reviews will systemically sample from such articles.

This is very interesting and more data-driven than you might think from the title. Also comes up with an actual idea what centre-left parties could do to build a new coalition. No idea if this would work, but at least it's something constructive #farright #Germany #btw25

My PhD student, Taylor Hill, successfully defended her thesis on Tuesday! She's not here on Bluesky, but one really cool thing she did was get an infographic of her thesis drawn live from the defense. It's so cool, I had to share.

Check it out, and the service she used is here:
