Abstract

I introduce a follow-up symposium to "'Am I Famous Yet?' Judging Scholarly Merit in Psychological Science," which was published in Perspectives on Psychological Science in November 2016. The follow-up symposium is intended to increase the diversity of contributors and contributions and thereby to continue and expand the discussion of how scholarly merit can be usefully evaluated in psychological science.
