  "abstract": "The article by Funder and Ozer (2019) emphasizes the important aspect that small correlations can be relevant, both theoretically and practically. However, we contend on two key points: (1) We contend that, when choosing between r and R2 as measures of effect size, R2 remains the superior measure. (2) Furthermore, we argue that despite the justified criticism of traditional, rigid thresholds for interpreting effects, the newly proposed guidelines by Funder & Ozer (2019) carry a risk of overinterpretation by conflating two distinct dimensions: the magnitude of a correlation and the relevance of a correlation.",
