Description

Registered Reports offer an alternative to the traditional publishing process whereby the idea and method for a project undergoes peer review before data collection and/or analysis take place, helping to ensure sound scientific methodology. This approach addresses issues of publication bias by ensuring that scientifically sound projects get the chance to be published regardless of significant findings. A recent development in this space is Peer Community In Registered Reports (PCI RR), a global community dedicated to receiving, reviewing, and recommending Registered Reports across the full spectrum of STEM, medicine, the social sciences and humanities.

This Open Research at York event discusses the process of conducting a registered report from the perspectives of PCI Publication Director Professor Christopher Chambers (Cardiff University), University of York researchers Professor Emma Marsden (Department of Education) and Dr Emma Sullivan (Department of Psychology). The session was organised in collaboration with the Department of Psychology Open Science Interest Group and hosted by Dr Angela de Bruin.
