Description
Chad Beyer, Chanel Robinson, and Dan J Stein present a 2025 journal article grading the most cited papers in evolutionary psychiatry. The field explains mental illness through evolution, a lens prone to errors like calling a disease an adaptation. Building on a leading scholar's criteria, the team scored the twenty most cited articles for quality and error count.
The classics averaged good quality yet carried important errors. Neither quality nor errors predicted citation counts at all, so fame in this field tracks something else. The authors ask the field to agree on shared quality standards and a common list of mistakes to avoid.
