Preregistration and Registered Reports

Preregistration, or the practice of documenting research aspects such as hypothesis, sample size, design, data exclusion, and statistical analyses, before data collection or data analysis, can help reduce questionable research practices. When integrated into the publishing process in the form of Registered Reports, it can also reduce publication bias. The aim of the SwissRN working group on Preregistration and Registered Reports is to promote and support existing initiatives and services related to Preregistration and Registered Reports (e.g., through workshops and consulting services), as well as develop new initiatives with stakeholders.
