Read-only for raw data is great advice. Also, an intuitive structure for subdirectories is important. But raw data as *.pdf seems a bit... impractical? Are reviewers and (future) readers then supposed to parse your data from a PDF? This sounds a bit error-prone to me (or I don't get it)

New blog post on #MediationAnalysis (MA), which is widely misunderstood and overused in #CommunicationResearch and #Psychology.
I made mistakes using MA myself, and no one should be blamed. But it's important to discuss flaws, esp. as MA has become so popular.
