Abstract *

This PREREGISTRATION has undergone one round of peer reviews. We have now revised the preregistration and addressed reviewer comments. The DOI was issued by OSF and refers to the whole GitHub repository, which contains multiple files. The specific file we are submitting is g_causal.Rmd, which is easily accessible at GitHub at https://github.com/corinalogan/grackles/blob/master/g_causal.Rmd. Note that viewing this file at OSF will result in not being able to see the figures as part of the .Rmd file. All changes are tracked at GitHub and are visible by clicking on the file's History button. Photo credit = Corina Logan (CC-BY-SA 4.0). We will start data collection in mid-October 2018 so it would be ideal if we could get through the review process before then.
