New Ideas for JAMA Eating Behavior Studies

4/30/2020

Here's a repost from my "Academics Only" blog.  It might also be of interest here.
​
In 2018, six of my research articles in JAMA-related journals were retracted.  These retractions offer some useful lessons to scholars, and they also offer some useful next steps to those who want to publish eating behavior research in medical journals or in the social sciences.  
 
These six different papers offer some topic-related roadmaps that could be useful.  First, they were originally of interest to journals in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) network, and they would probably be of interest to other journals in medicine, behavioral economics, marketing, nutrition, psychology, health, and consumer behavior.  Second, they each show what a finished paper might look like. They show the positioning, relevant background research, methodological approach, and relevance to clinical practice or to everyday life.
 
I think all of these topics are interesting and have every-day importance.  This document provides a two-page template for each one that shows 1) An overview why it was done, 2) the abstract (or a summary if there was no abstract), 3) the reason it was retracted, 4) how it could be done differently, and 5) promising new research opportunities on the topic.  Making specific hypotheses and testing them followed by open science principles will be the best next way forward on these topics.[1]  
 
Academia can be a tremendously rewarding career both you and for the people who benefit from you research.  Best wishes in moving topics like these forward, and best wishes on a great career.  
 

[1] A useful description of these principles can be found at Klein, O., Hardwicke, T. E., Aust, F., Breuer, J., Danielsson, H., Hofelich Mohr, Al, …. Frank, M. C. (2018). A Practical guide for transparency in psychological science.  Collabra: Psychology, 4 (1), 20.
