"The PsychoSystems team at the University of Amsterdam has sparked a conceptual and methodological revolution in psychology. Their network approach to mental disorders is galvanizing our field, producing an urgent need for an accessible, user-friendly text for novices as well as for experienced researchers. Network Psychometrics with R is a splendid book that fulfills this need admirably. Importantly, the authors are seasoned teachers of network analysis, accustomed to introducing the approach to beginners in the field." -- Professor Richard McNally, Harvard University, USA"This thorough introduction into all important details of network psychometrics, by a group of authors including many of the leading scientists in the field, fills an important lacuna in the literature. It is highly recommended for widespread use in teaching and applied research." -- Professor Peter Molenaar, Pennsylvania State University, USA "The PsychoSystems team at the University of Amsterdam has sparked a conceptual and methodological revolution in psychology.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
