'DEAR READER' MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHORS

Dear Reader,

The R Code contains what you need to build the re-constructed dataset from (1) the original data file, (2) the data from the Harvard Report, and (3) the data from Colada 112. So you don't need the "Cleaned and Re-constructed" dataset to run any of the code. The code will create it. I have it here so that people can look at it (or start from it) if they want.

ABSTRACT
As you may know, Harvard professor Francesca Gino is suing us for defamation after (1) we alerted Harvard to evidence of fraud in four studies that she co-authored, (2) Harvard investigated and placed her on administrative leave, and (3) we summarized the evidence in four blog posts. As part of their investigation, Harvard wrote a 1,288-page report describing what they found. Because of the lawsuit, that report was made public: .pdf. And because it was made public, we now know what the investigators say was in the "original" dataset for one of the four studies: Study 3A of Gino, Kouchaki, and Casciaro (2020). By simply comparing the Original and Posted versions of the dataset, we can see exactly how the data were altered to produce the published result. In this post, we will show that (1) we correctly deduced how the data were altered and (2) Gino's explanation for the alterations is extremely implausible.
