Error report for Cikara et al. (2014)

Based on the reviewer’s report and the authors’ response, I return the decision that theoriginal article contains Minor Errors that do not affect the core conclusions. That is, errorsthat have the benefit of being detectable thanks to the presence and sharing of researchmaterials, but whose scope and implications are minor. The reviewer reproduced theprincipal mixed-model results after updating/repairing the SAS code; discrepancies thatremain are limited to reporting and rounding issues, effect-size computation differencesfor reported Cohen’s ds, and a denominator degrees-of-freedom typo. A decision of minorerrors entails the publication of the report, authors response, and recommendation on theERROR website (error.reviews). The authors are also asked that they recognise the minorerrors associated with their manuscript in future discussions of their article. We commendthe authors in already taking action to publicly acknowledge and rectify the errors foundhere, specifically by committing to posting cleaned data and functioning code to OSF. Ahighly-cited paper which was not computationally reproducible ~1 year ago now has clean,working, openly-available code thanks to the efforts of the reviewer and the author.
