Introduction: A long-time hospital-based school psychologist and now a long-time academic. Fighting creeping cynicism by building or rebuilding the structures of research, evidence-based practices, and my life. Also, cooking, Canada, dog, hockey, Emerson, Marx (Groucho), fitness, and coffee.

A colleague and I have noticed a massive increase in the use of the word "delve" in scholarly papers. Could be a cultural trend? Could be a ChatGPT fave word? Hmmm.

Weird hypothesis I need to investigate: psychology papers on topics deemed to be critical (e.g. teen suicide, indigenous mental health) are more likely than other topics to use QRP or fraud because the papers are given extra lenience due to the subject matter.

I am really not sure why I ever expected major universities to behave with more integrity and courage than businesses and industry. Universities are business and industry. Naïveté, I guess.
