I am working on a project form my spatial and temporal statistics class today, with the task of assessing the use of spatial and temporal statistical methods for a specific topic over three decades. I choose to look at spatial relationships between marine habitats and fish assemblages. Tasked to find 30 peer reviewed journals articles over 3 decades is not easy! Even using specific terminology, I still didn't manage to find 30 papers. But I did find a lot of false advertising! I don't care how many times each papers uses key words like pattern and spatial relationship, nearest neighbor analysis, autocorrelation, they still lie. It reminds me of historical map making like.....

You know the maps where cartographers drew the world they knew of and anywhere that they were missing information they would add some elaborate drawing (usually in the ocean, because its still relatively unknown)! False advertising!
Maybe I should just review my papers using this:
