Looking for some guidance re: open science preprint options. First time user here trying to decide between submission to JMIR preprints or PsyArXiv.

If I get a paper accepted at a journal, why can’t I have the option for free open access publication in exchange for agreeing to review, say - 3 manuscripts? I know, you’re going to say because people will write crappy reviews just to fulfill the obligation vs. provide a quality review.

I think this measurement/modelling thread is widely applicable. In psych we seem to treat all constructs as latent constructs. But many are not. For example, in my field, I think suicide capability often fails structural tests because it is a formative construct being modelled as latent.

Oh, he wants to take our words? Good thing we are a bunch of highly educated, widely read, creative, undeterred scientists who have been renaming constructs every decade. No more LGBT? That's fine, we LOVE a Good Bacon Lettuce Tomato sandwich at Emory.

When people ask me to explain what I do: Me: You ever taken one of those quizzes that tell you what kind of potato you are? Questioner: Yeah! Me: Not that. Mine are legit.

I’ve now posted the National YRBS data, 2015-2023, here. I’ll add the state and district data soon. www.datalumos.org/datalumos/pr...

Are digital interventions for depression effective? We ran 3,638 meta-analyses on 125 RCTs (32,733 participants) to find out. Effect sizes ranged from small to medium (Hedges’ g = 0.16–0.74), with guided interventions & LMICs showing greater benefits. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@statsepi.bsky.social Hi Darren - thanks for the great resource re: references for pushing back when reviewers ask for something when what is proposed is appropriate & current best-practice. Happens with peer-review process but also FDA reviewers & VCs reviewing science as part of due diligence.
