    • What is Preregistration? Textseite

      In a preregistration, researchers specify, in as much detail as they can, their plans for a study (e.g., number and nature of subjects, stimulus materials, procedures, measures, rules for excluding data, plans for data analysis, predictions/hypotheses, etc.), typically in advance of data collection, and they post those plans in a time-stamped, locked file in an online repository that can be accessed by editors, reviewers, and ultimately by readers.

      In here, you'll find answers to the following questions:

      • What is Preregistration?
      • Can I preregister my study after data collection has begun?
      • Is preregistration useful when I do not have any hypotheses?
