Citation out of alphabetical order

Page 7, line 21: "Articles 1,2,4, 5, and 5" - presumably the last 5 should be 6?

The caption of Figure 1 (starting with the words "Variable Importance") seems to be truncated.

Should this say "geographical location"?

I presume this sentence is extracted from a previous analysis plan, in which case it should be either updated to the past tense, or removed.

... because? Something derived from the phrase "without loss of generality" may be your friend here.

This sentence is a bit "run-on". One solution is "... I find them a distraction; in the rest of this article I argue that collinearity is not...". But there are plenty of others.

The word "the" can be deleted here, as there is no specific analysis under discussion.

"Registered Reports" has a specific meaning ("preregistration +++"). It might be best to avoid this term unless you are explicitly looking at the particular way in which RRs are not just preregistration.

You only need "General" when there have been previous (per-study) "Discussion" sections.

Is this "the opposite", or a different point?

Can one "find a null effect"? Maybe "demonstrate the absence of an effect"?

This sentence is not clear at all.

Just "Mount Everest", without "the", is the accepted usage in English.

Not at all. All of these methods work just fine with interval and ratio data, provided that certain constraints are respected.
