I just looked into your paper and found it great (you got me, I guess)!
I think my question arose because of the chosen variables in particular.
I just thought that the influence of rigor on open data would be more or less assumable in the first place, so that it must be controlled for in the statistical model (which is actually a conclusion from the causal analysis (page 9). However, I had author behavior in mind, not journal selection procedures.

@vtraag As far as I got it, and please correct me if I am wrong, proper statistical analysis should always include causal analysis. In practice however, this has mostly been more of a causal/assumptive/theory-guided muddling through, rather than a systematic approach, as suggested by causal analysis.
