Reporting Balance Tables, Response Rates and Manipulation Checks in Experimental Research: A Reply from the Committee that Prepared the Reporting Guidelines

We welcome the comments on our committee’s Reporting Guidelines (2014, Journal of Experimental Political Science 7 1(1): 81–98) from Diana Mutz and Robin
Pemantle, as well as the opportunity to clarify our recommendations. We appreciate the points they raise and share their goal of encouraging a better understanding of
experimental methods. Nonetheless, we are not in complete agreement with their proposed revisions to our recommendations.
