Probabilistic approaches do not invalidate descriptive studies but answer fundamentally different questions: Reply to Loh and Ren (2023).

American Psychologist, Vol 78(6), Sep 2023, 814-815; doi:10.1037/amp0001212Loh and Ren (2023) critiqued our study on authorship trends in high-impact psychology journals that publish invited submissions for the use of outcome-dependent sampling. Although they offer a useful perspective, their methodological suggestions would answer a fundamentally different research question from the one we proposed. We thank Loh and Ren (2023) for their constructive contributions to this dialogue. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
