Dear LMU OSC list,
an international task force of multiple academic societies and stakeholders in psychological science developed the "Preregistration Standards for Quantitative Psychology". They are presented on a launch event on October 27; this probably is also of interest for other empirical disciplines!
Details see below.
Best,
Felix

Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:46:34 +0200Dear all,
the American Psychological Association (APA), British Psychological Society (BPS), and German Psychological Society (DGPs) have partnered with the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) and Center for Open Science (OSF) to create Preregistration Standards for Quantitative Psychology.
Join us for a webinar on
October 27, 2020 from 2pm-3pm CET
to mark the launch of standards and to hear from two keynote speakers on the importance of preregistering study design in psychology.
The webinar will feature the following:
> Keynote: Dr. Simine Vazire – “What is Transparency For?”
> Keynote: Dr. EJ Wagenmakers – “Problems and Promises of Preregistration”
> Introduction of the Preregistration Standards for Quantitative Psychology by the Preregistration Task Force
> Audience Q&A
We hope this webinar will inform viewers about preregistration and, through adoption of the new standards, encourage the development of a strong open science community.

Dr. Simine Vazire is a Professor at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Her research examines individual and institutional practices and norms in science, and the degree to which these norms encourage or impede self-correction and credibility. She is Editor in Chief of Collabra: Psychology and has served as an editor at several other journals. She is a board member of the Public Library Of Science and the Berkeley Institute for Transparency in the Social Sciences, was a member of the US National Academy of Science study committee on replicability and reproducibility, and co-founded the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS).Dr. Eric-Jan (“EJ”) Wagenmakers is a mathematical psychologist and a dedicated (some have said "marxist") Bayesian. He works at the Psychological Methods Unit of the University of Amsterdam where he heads a lab that develops the JASP open-source software program for statistical analyses. Wagenmakers is also a strong advocate of Open Science and the preregistration of analysis plans.
PREREGISTRATION TASK FORCE
The current panel comprises members of multiple international psychological societies who have been collaborating in the past year, developing an adaptable preregistration template for widespread adoption.Michael Bosnjak, ZPID – Leibniz Institute for Psychology (DGPs representative)

Preregistration allows researchers to specify and share the details of their research in a public registry before actually carrying out the research. As such, preregistration serves multiple important purposes: e.g., (a) ensuring that research teams share a clear understanding of their research goals and processes, (b) separating the confirmatory aspects of the research from the exploratory aspects, (c) allowing for input from colleagues online prior to conducting the study, and (d) allowing journal editors to accept researchers’ papers conditionally, regardless of the outcomes themselves.
