Did you know APA has a scorecard for determining authorship order? Apparently bullshitting (a.k.a. writing the discussion section) is worth over 3x as much as instrument construction. Fuck. That. Shit. https://www.apa.org/science/leadership/students/authorship-determination-scorecard.pdf …

Sure, putting the findings in context of the literature is difficult and important, but look how it scores compared to everything else on that list!

I mean maybe it should be 80 or 90 — I dunno. Must be my biases. Don't forget I don't do empirical stuff and even though the coding is hard it's, as I said, easier to me to do that than write a good discuasion, or indeed any part of the paper... coming from CS?

But, anyway, a lot of us have issues with certain things. Mine is how bad I am at writing compared to where I want to be.

I also don't think Discussion sections in my subfield are BS but of course I can totally accept they are in other parts of Psychology.
