An overview is given of the options available in detecting and dealing with outliers in collaborative studies. The fundamental points of agreement and disagreement are highlighted. The common sense approach of just looking at the data is emphasized. The importance is stressed of making a harmonized choice of outlier treatments, even though such a choice may not be optimal for all circumstances.
