(1/2) New ggsced post! This one provides a guide showing how the latest helper functionality simplifies adding text annotations to SCED figures. Totally not required by any means, but ... bit.ly/4xrHOCw

(1/2) For folks reacting to OSF freezing the creation of new projects in the future, just a reminder that you can still archive via GitHub and mint DOIs freely using other related services (e.g., Zenodo). Been doing that for a while and ... bit.ly/4grHxty

ggsced package update (0.1.9 on CRAN). Folks generally drop legends in SCED and prefer text/arrows (which can be a pain in ggplot). New helpers, easier syntax, less code. Clinician- & researcher-relevant. bit.ly/4wtc3ZV

New ggsced post! This one reviewing support for preventing overlapped dog-leg phase change lines in complex multiple baselines. Should be able to support ~100% of multiple baseline designs in R at the point. Student/researcher relevant. Source provided. bit.ly/4bhNMNM

(Thread 1/2) More in the ggsced series - Guidance and instructions for drawing ggplot figures and rendering pixel-perfect phase change lines across facets. Historically, this was the main reason why you couldn't work inclusively with SCED in the R ecosystem, unless ... bit.ly/4wtc3ZV

2nd post available in updated ggsced series -- Designing axis breaks in ggplot to satisfy JABA/JEAB conventions. An often overlooked feature that causes a lot of grief in the final publication stages. Code available. Research/practice relevant. bit.ly/4vhYk6u

Thread (1/2) Really excited to see this one finally come out. Credit/thanks to Nate Stevenson, Corey Peltier, and the rest of the crew for organizing. Really underscores just how much heterogeneity there is in visual analysis (even more so for quantitative complements) and ... bit.ly/4hkd5SZ

A bit late with this one, but excited to see more interest in building consensus regarding what constitutes clear, transparent, and rigorous reviews of SCED literature. Preprint available.
