Pre-registration generally refers to the act of signing up for something before it officially begins, such as an event, class, or product release, often to secure a spot or receive benefits.
In the context of research, pre-registration is the practice of specifying and publicly registering a study's hypotheses, methods, or analyses before conducting the research.
This practice helps to ensure transparency and reduce bias in research.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
General Pre-registration:
Definition: Signing up in advance for an event, service, or product launch.
Purpose: Secures a spot, provides early access, or offers special incentives.
Examples:Pre-registering for a conference to get a discounted ticket.
Pre-ordering a new video game to receive bonus content.
Signing up for a class before the official registration period to ensure a spot.
Pre-registration in Research:
Definition:
Specifying and registering research plans (hypotheses, methods, analysis plan) before data collection.
Purpose:
Increases transparency and reduces bias by preventing selective reporting or post-hoc changes to the research plan.
Facilitates replication and reproducibility of research findings.
Allows researchers to test hypotheses rigorously, minimizing the risk of false positives.
Examples:
A researcher publicly documents their research questions, methodology, and analysis plan before collecting data.
A journal requires researchers to pre-register their studies before submitting a manuscript.
Benefits:
Reduces the "file drawer" problem by encouraging the publication of both positive and negative results.
Promotes a more rigorous and trustworthy scientific process.
Enhances the credibility of research findings.
Related Concepts:
Registered Reports: A type of research publication where the study design and analysis plan are reviewed and accepted before data collection.
Registered Reports (Registered Reports): An extension of pre-registration where the manuscript (including introduction, methods, and analysis plan) is accepted for publication prior to data collection or analysis, according to Uni Mannheim.
Open Science: A movement that encourages transparency and openness in scientific research, including pre-registration, says the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).
