When you leave a job, there is always unfinished business, stuff that could have gone better etc.
Therefore, I am glad to see that "Quality of Life Research" has passed 2,000 submissions this week, which makes 2024 (so far) the year with the second most submissions (after 2020) in the history of the journal.
Thanks to authors and reviewers supporting us! 🙇

10/x Thanks for reading in case you made it this far.

7/x Leah took the last straw the audience was holding on to:
No, even when thinking about clocks and time, ongoing coordination is an issue. There is no #GoldStandard for time, its #measurement is under constant development.
6/x Rick Sawatzky's recorded input focused on #Exchangeablility and discussed how the term #PatientCentered measurement may relate to ideographic and nomothetic methods.

2/x We had a good panel of presenters.
Melanie Hawkins (Swinburn UT) opened the session with a discussion of how values and assumptions impact on interpretations of scores in application contexts, and how this may reinforce and exacerbate societal inequities.
1/x It was great fun to co-organise the #ISOQOL discussion of Leah McClimans' book
" #PatientCentered #Measurement: Perspectives from philosophy and health-related quality of life"

Really glad how our symposium around Leah McClimans' book " #PatientCentered #Measurement: Perspectives from philosophy and health-related quality of life" went.
I really enjoyed working with Leah on this as well as reading her thought-provoking book:
