Good scientific practice and Open Science

Preregistration
© CERes

Target group: doctoral and postdoctoral researchers

To increase the trustworthiness of confirmatory studies, many researchers have been specifying their research plan before conducting their studies. These preregistrations are a well-regarded practice for increasing trustworthiness and transparency of studies. In this workshop, the following topics will be covered:


1.    How preregistrations prevent p-hacking and HARKing
2.    Hands-on: Preregistration in 15 minutes
3.    Gold standards of preregistrations: comprehensiveness, specificity, and structure
4.    Tools to facilitate preregistrations and registered reports
5.    Dealing with deviations

Objectives:

  • Learn about preregistration in the context of exploratory versus confirmatory research and how it can help you to design studies more efficiently

  • Familiarize yourself with best practices for preregistration

  • Get an overview of preregistration types and templates

  • Learn how to document deviations transparently

  • Discuss the feasibility and standing of preregistrations in the context of your field of research

Facilitators: Dr. Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science (MüCOS))
