In this new blog, I write about: 1. All that's wrong in academia—including bad papers, broken peer-review, the publishing industry, and precarious contracts. 2. How important it is *not* to become a cynic. 3. And my personal antidotes to cynicism creep. eiko-fried.com/antidotes-to-c…

Three years ago, I set out to create a DAG for my research but found limited guidance. This led to a scoping review, including an illustrative case from health psychology. I hope it helps researchers explore and use DAGs in their work!
