This AM I got an email from a-techo.org offering to pay $1,500/manuscript for expedited reviews. It's hard to imagine any serious journal editor taking them up. One has to figure that there's an implied quid pro quo, and manuscripts that are expeditiously desk rejected wouldn't get the payola.

Interesting to look at the replies and see that Canadians can be blinded by jingoism too (and Europeans). Nothing about this post is a slight on anybody else, so it's funny to pop in as if it is. But if you think your country or region is up to the task of making up for a US dropoff: No it is not

Using Large Language Models to Assess Psychopathology
A few minutes of conversation may be all it takes. Whitney Ringwald explores how LLMs can power low-burden, scalable mental health assessment.

Only with the too much publishing, but not with the need to have more research on many topics that we don't understand fully.

Aidan Wright @aidangcw.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

Assuming we are going to use impact factors to evaluate journals, why do we use 2-year impact factor instead of 5-year impact factor? The latter would seem to be much more reliable as an indicator...

Exciting day. My set-theoretic reconceptualization of the DSM (w/ MDD, GAD, and PTSD as empirical examples) is out today in JPCS, along with four invited commentaries and my response. I'm biased, but I recommend all six papers. I was really jazzed by all four commentaries. 1/25

As many have pointed out, open science methods don't make research strong. But I think they function like nutrition labels--they let you see what's in the study and decide whether you want to consume it. Some will still be happy with a diet of junk, but others will demand healthier evidence.

Lot's of folks cheering this paper's implications, as if it shows all's well in how we do science and can return to business as usual. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT! But by the paper's own logic, if we can't establish a crisis (using binary replication rates), we also can't say there isn't a crisis. 1/3
