Abstract

The authors respond to commentaries on the Many Labs replication project. They cite relevant points raised by the commentators who argued that much work is really necessary to triangulate in understanding any particular effect. Specific reactions to commentaries are also presented including explanations for why the authors observed an effect that was almost identical to the original finding.
