Preregistration of Studies and Analysis Plans [Exceeds
current journal requirements]
- Authors declare this work preregistered with a statistical analysis
plan in an independent, institutional registry (e.g. http://clinicaltrials.gov/, http://socialscienceregistry.org/, http://openscienceframework.org/, http://egap.org/design-registration/, http://ridie.3ieimpact.org/).
- Authors declare certification of the
preregistration
- Clearly distinguish in text analyses that were preregistered from
those that were not, such as having separate sections in the results
for confirmatory and exploratory analyses.
Replication [Exceeds current journal requirements]
While GGN does not currently undertake peer review ofRegistered Reports for
single unreplicated experiments, since we do not believe that even the
best peer reviewed experimental design can overcome sources of variation
among studies, the policy of the journal is to encourage submission of
experimental designs that contain their own replication. We also
encourage studies replicating or powered to replicate work published in
this journal.
- Report contains both hypothesis generation and replication in separate
studies
- Report contains an unreplicated study, but could be reviewed for its
study design with a view to guaranteeing publication provided a
replication is undertaken, either in a fresh study or by
collaboration, regardless of positive or neutral outcome.
