Justifying "default prior" in JASP

edited May 2020 in JASP & BayesFactor

In our study, we used the default prior in JASP to compute BFs since the comparisons we had were not reported in any former studies. We used the default prior for all our analyses (repeated-measures ANOVA, t-tests, correlation, etc.). One reviewer nonetheless asks us to list the default priors used in JASP and to explain them.

I have checked in the manual for Students, but I don't find relevant information on which default prior are used and why.

What would be the most relevant literature to mention for this? I was wondering if the following papr was the most appropriate:

Ly, A., Verhagen, J., & Wagenmakers, E. J. (2016). Harold Jeffreys’s default Bayes factor hypothesis tests: Explanation, extension, and application in psychology. Journal of Mathematical Psychology72, 19-32.

Thank you very much for the help!
