New in HSR: "Requiem for Odds Ratios" with Bryan Dowd, Melissa Garrido, and Matt Maciejewski. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14756773/0… We commend HSR for discouraging the reporting of odds ratios in most studies. We agree wholeheartedly with this decision, which keeps HSR at the forefront.

A great example of why we should not use methods just because they are convenient or conventional (guilty as charged 🙋‍♂️). We need to do better and encourage journals that review our work to not impose bad methods because they are preferred by reviewers/readership.

//this is attempted humor// I do not care for odds ratios//

True.
