Money, lies, and replicability: On the need for empirically grounded experimental practices and interdisciplinary discourse - Response

This response reinforces the major themes of our target article. The impact of key methodologica; variables should not be taken for granted. Rather, w e suggest grounding experimental practices in empirical evidence. If no evi dence is available, decisions about design and implementation ought to be s ubjected to systematic experimentation. In other words, we argue against em pirically blind conventions and against methodological choices based Oil be liefs, habits, or rituals. Our approach will neither inhibit methodological diversity nor constrain experimental creativity. More likely, it will prom ote both goals.
