Researching Mind

Notes from psychology students who check every citation at its source: essays, a glossary with page numbers, classroom experiments, and open data with the code behind every figure.

Rule zero

No figure, quotation or page number goes in without being read at the source.

Thoughts of a Student

Essays written from inside the classroom, with the library open and no hurry. Here we write the essays that ethics and our own way of looking allow us to write: about method, about what is taught and what isn't, about what it takes to hold someone else's process. They are not lecture notes or textbook truths; they are the questions of someone still learning to ask them well.

    What the manuals leave out: finding an article in a university library, citing an encyclopedia entry, what to do when the “Cite” button gets it wrong.

    Open data

    Anonymised data from a sleep-disorder prevalence study (N = 57) and the Python code that reproduces every figure.
