"A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact rankings."

Ever wanted to make a map for a paper? I used to think it was hard, then I switched to R! With the sf and tidyverse (well, ggplot) packages, it's super straightforward.
library(sf)
library(tidyverse)
shapefile <- read_sf(LOCATION OF .shp file)
