I recently read @djnavarro 's 2021 paper "If Mathematical Psychology Did Not Exist We Might Need to Invent It: A Comment on Theory Building in Psychology" (https://doi.org/10.1177/1745691620974769).

It's a gem on the role and use of theory in cognitive psychology (and related fields, by extension) and the relation of theory to statistics. As expected, the footnotes are a joy. For my extra reading pleasure, I imagined the paper written in Danielle's sweary-blog style.

Following a wonderful workshop at FSCI 2025, the @force11 team is organizing a PREreview Club to review #metascience #preprints.

They are currently looking for participants to commit at various levels of engagement to help start up the club, especially people willing to help recruit people to fill roles for each review, and people who can commit to roles, such as notetaker or article selection.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, read more here: https://force11.org/post/organizing-a-force11-prereview-club/
