This article is worth reading for anyone in academia. How to cite references was not something discussed much in grad school, but it definitely should be.

This is *really* good. "Many of us have a tendency to assume that everything we see in print is true, with or without a reference, as long as it is printed in a fairly respectable scientific journal."

This is a GREAT read, h/t @random_walker ! Scholarship is messy - multi-method, multi-modal, multi-replication work is needed to warrant a (quantitative) claim. And scholars have to be diligent to do and track such work.

What I found especially poignant is that those forces that presented themselves as mythbusters, long after were actually perpetuating a myth. Reason why I dubbed one of my talks 'This is the New M*th' (free after Marilyn Manson's song).
