Summary
An issue within psychological research is reduced acceptance of secondary data, when compared with primary data, within open research practices. A challenge with pre-registration is remaining naïve to the data when data access fees mean that all data must be accessed ahead of time, which the researchers worked around by being selective over what data they were viewing before analysis. An additional challenge with using secondary data comes from data being sub-optimal for statistical purposes planned in pre-registration. The researchers reflect on the ability to report what has not gone to plan from pre-registration, rather than pre-registration restricting what analyses can be completed. A final challenge comes from the secondary data not being open, and analysis requiring software that is not freely available. The researchers addressed these issues by finding a specialist R package for the analysis allowing an annotated version of the modelling process and output to be shared on OSF for future researchers using the same secondary dataset.
