Title: The Registered Reports Project:
Using open science as a vaccine against research bias.
Abstract: In 2013 the journal Cortex became the first outlet to offer Registered Reports, a format of pre-registered empirical publication in which peer review happens prior to data collection and analysis (see https://cos.io/rr/). The philosophy of Registered Reports is that in order to neutralise publication bias and various forms of researcher bias (such as p-hacking and post hypothesising), the publishability of a scientific study should be decided by the importance of the research question and rigour of the methodology, and never based on the results of hypothesis testing. In this talk I will provide an introduction to Registered Reports and update on its progress. Together with allied initiatives, Registered Reports are helping to reshape the incentive structure of science to place transparency and reproducibility on par with conventional indicators of scientific quality.
