Summary:

Preregistration is the practice of formally documenting the plan for a study, including the research questions, hypotheses, design, and analysis, before the data has been collected or analyzed. To be valid, this "study plan" should be prospectively registered in a publicly accessible, verified repository with an associated date- and time-stamp. Preregistration can be implemented for all types of research, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods, and primary and secondary data designs. Dependent on such methodology, the overarching goals of preregistration are to (1) distinguish confirmatory from exploratory research; (2) increase transparency; (3) reduce bias; and (4) help evaluate the severity of hypothesis testing. Written for students, this guide provides an overview of the "what, why, and how" of preregistration as well as a discussion of its benefits, barriers, and solutions. After reading this guide, you should feel confident to use preregistration in your research training--whether this be through adopting preregistration in your own research projects and/or being able to critically evaluate this open research practice in the published literature.
