In this rejoinder, we examine some of the issues Peter Bentler, Eunseong Cho, and Jules Ellis raise. We suggest a methodological solid way to construct a test indicating that the importance of the particular reliability method used is minor, and we discuss future topics in reliability research.

The five discussions of our paper provide several modeling alternatives, extensions, and generalizations that can potentially guide future research in meta-analysis. In this rejoinder, we briefly summarize and comment on some of those points.

In this paper, we propose a crucial supplement to the framework of plant cognition, namely extend cognition. We argue that plants and other organisms with an open-ended body plan actively extend their cognition when growing tissues or organs. Their cognition expands with their body expansion.

This rejoinder refers to the research of Otaiku (J Religion Health 1-17, 2022), which concluded that low religiosity in adulthood is associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Although Otaiku points to a number of limitations of their own research and thus clearly qualifies that further work is needed to verify the findings, a number of concerns still need to be raised about this research. Five points are highlighted in this article, namely (1) it is not clear why and how the variables of religiosity and spirituality were combined; (2) it is not reported whether other variables were tested; (3) they refer to the four different groups of how religiosity plays a role, which include extremely small samples of 11, 16, 25, 22 participants, (4) the final conclusion is based only on the two extreme groups with Parkinson's disease, (5) it remains unclear whether all patients had Parkinson's disease.

We thank all the discussants for the careful reading and insightful comments. In our rejoinder, we extend the discussion of how the assumptions of instrumented difference-in-differences (iDID) compare to the assumptions of the standard instrumental variable method. We also make additional comments on how iDID is related to the fuzzy DID.

We thank the editors for organizing the discussions and the discussants for insightful comments. Our rejoinder provides results and comments to address the questions raised in the discussions. Specifically, we present results showing DICA largely demonstrates better or comparable stability as compared with standard ICA.
