Registered Reports’ offer a publication approach to the psychological scientific community that emphasizes the importance of the research question and the quality of the methodology prior to data collection.

The format requires authors of empirical studies to preregister their study protocol including hypotheses, details concerning sample size and sampling methods, and the analysis plan. The submission of an empirical study outline is followed by a standard peer review process determining the quality of research methodology. If the study is accepted as a ‘Registered Report’, publication is granted to the authors irrespective of the outcomes. This publication process seeks to prevent questionable research practices such as low statistical power, changing hypotheses retrospectively to fit obtained data (“HARKing”), selective reporting of results, manipulation of methods and criteria of analysis (“p-hacking”), and publication bias. The publication format of ‘Registered Reports’ thus rewards adhering to the hypothetico-deductive model of the scientific method, while allowing complete flexibility in conducting and reporting additional exploratory (unregistered post-hoc) analyses. ‘Registered Reports’ promote the trustworthiness and replicability of psychological research - two essential goals of the Open Science movement.
