Here are two "I can't believe these are free" online stats texts books that cover both underlying principles and practical applications in R that I regularly refer to.

Learning Statistics with R
learningstatisticswithr.com

Doing Meta-Analysis with R bookdown.org/MathiasHarre...
A screenshot with the following Learning statistics with R: A tutorial for psychology students and other beginners. (Version 0.6.1) Danielle Navarro (bookdown translation: Emily Kothe) 2019-01-11 Overview Learning Statistics with R covers the contents of an introductory statistics class, as typically taught to undergraduate psychology students, focusing on the use of the R statistical software. The book discusses how to get started in R as well as giving an introduction to data manipulation and writing scripts. From a statistical perspective, the book discusses descriptive statistics and graphing first, followed by chapters on probability theory, sampling and estimation, and null hypothesis testing. After introducing the theory, the book covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, ANOVAs and regression. Bayesian statistics are covered at the end of the book. A screenshot with the following Welcome! Welcome to the online version of “Doing Meta-Analysis with R: A Hands-On Guide”. This book serves as an accessible introduction into how meta-analyses can be conducted in R. Essential steps for meta-analysis are covered, including pooling of outcome measures, forest plots, heterogeneity diagnostics, subgroup analyses, meta-regression, methods to control for publication bias, risk of bias assessments and plotting tools. Advanced, but highly relevant topics such as network meta-analysis, multi-/three-level meta-analyses, Bayesian meta-analysis approaches, and SEM meta-analysis are also covered. The programming and statistical background covered in the book are kept at a non-expert level. A print version of this book has been published with Chapman & Hall/CRC Press (Taylor & Francis)

I'm planning a project in which I will be adapting some questionnaires (originally in English) to Polish. I would be grateful for some recommendations of a paper/checklist for good practices in validation, e.g. sample size, reliability indices, etc. Thanks!

Our preprint on our translations of CRediT into 36 languages. We've come a long way with this project! osf.io/preprints/me... If you know of non-English academic journals that don't have a policy on saying who did what, get in touch - CRediT may be part of the answer.

Title reads: Are you a neurodivergent person over 16? If so, you may want to consider taking part in an online survey on identifying support for neurodivergent young people in schools. Inside a speech bubble reads: We are interested in hearing the views of neurodivergent people in England aged 16+ There is a playful graphic of three young children in colourful clothing. One is holding a wand, and another is holding a balloon. If you are interested, please go to the survey at https://thegoo.se/survey or scan a QR code.

My favorite account of the early history is this one:

www.jneurosci.org/content/jneu...

ALSO: AWARD BRENDA MILNER THE NOBEL PRIZE (for work with H.M. and the discovery that the hippocampus the structure that stores memories) - SHE'S 106!)
www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=25635
Heroes of the Engram In 1904, Richard Semon introduced the term “engram” to describe the neural substrate responsible for (or at least important in) storing and recalling memories (i.e., a memory trace). The recent introduction of a vast array of powerful new tools to probe and manipulate memory function at the cell and neuronal circuit level has spurred an explosion of interest in studying the engram. However, the present “engram renaissance” was not borne in isolation but rather builds on a long tradition of memory research. We believe it is important to acknowledge the debts our current generation of scientists owes to those scientists who have offered key ideas, persevered through failed experiments and made important discoveries before us. Examining the past can also offer a fresh perspective on the present state and future promise of the field. Given the large amount of empirical advances made in recent years, it seems particularly timely to look back and review the scientists who introduced the seminal terminology, concepts, methodological approaches, and initial data pertaining to engrams. Rather than simply list their many accomplishments, here we color in some details of the lives and milestone contributions of our seven personal heroes of the engram (Richard Semon, Karl Lashley, Donald Hebb, Wilder Penfield, Brenda Milner, James McConnell, and Richard Thompson). In reviewing their historic role, we also illustrate how their work remains relevant to today’s studies.

THE BELL JAR

HARD ❌

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

EASY ✅

That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs
An advert for a company called Magibook. The headline reads "Turn HARD books into EASY books with Magibook! Maximize your reading potential and avoid difficult language today." Underneath is two covers of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Above the first cover is the original version of the opening sentence (captioned "Turn Hard Books"), which reads "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since." Above the second cover (captioned "into Easy Books") is a simplified version, which reads "When I was young, my dad told me something that I still think about."

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

It’s publication day for The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories. It took 39 authors 100 years to write, and me about 4 years to compile and translate, with the help of 11 other translators. It aims to show the variety and brilliance of modern Polish literature.

Papers are one-way conversations. Getting additional info from authors can be hard, so clear reporting from the outset is critical.

Further resources on the interpretation of null results. A dataset was generated showing simulated data points in two groups A and B. Group A follows a normal distribution with a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 1, while Group B exhibits a bimodal distribution, characterized by peaks at 9 and 11 with a standard deviation of 0.5. As shown in the figure (A), barplots often fail to capture the true distribution of the data. Although boxplots in (B) provide more insights into the data distribution compared to barplots, violin plots in (C) and raincloud plots in (D) provide a more accurate representation of the actual data distribution.
