PhD finally conferred! It's over!!!!
Spent the better part of my twenties studying while juggling part-time research work. Nice to finally be able to relax.
Excited to move on to my next phase of life 😀 But first, Eternal Weekend @ Yokohama next week!

I like this paper: not only does it review of all the reasons standardized coefficients are bad, actually,
It also then goes on to show how test statistics can be used as measures of unique contribution/ effect size! - something that just sounds so so wrong!

Journals add value to our scientific work MY ASS. So many wasted hours dealing with this rubbish.
So afraid of signalling QRPs to their readers yet too blockheaded to understand that we are not citing willy-nilly.

Does any one know of a paper that describes the citation count distribution of papers in social psychology? Preferably a recent paper.
Can't seem to find one specific to social psychology :-(
