A long thread about the meandering, winding road to an accepted paper. Hope you have patience because this tale nearly starts 10 years ago with @DermotLynott.
In early 2013, I was a brand new assistant professor, just into my first tenure track gig. A call for replication studies had come out, which would ultimately become the special issue in Social Psychology (2014), which was the first all #RegisteredReports endeavor.
Even then, I was into replication and what would become the open science movement in psychology, so I was eager to submit something to the special issue. Plus, it seemed a good opportunity to get something going with my students at my new (teaching focused) job.
10 years ago, almost to the day, we received Elsevier’s approval to launch Registered Reports at the journal Cortex.
Cortex became one of the core founding journals for the initiative, which has now been taken up by over 300 journals and review platforms. /1

The “1.0” model of RRs is journal-based. You choose your journal (such as Cortex), submit to it, and if Stage 1 and Stage 2 review are positive, you publish in that journal. /2
Happy March! What better way to start a new month than by spreading the word on all things #openscience! Over the next month we’ll be sharing 1 summary of #openscience literature every day because you know what they say, an open science paper a day keeps the bad science away! 👏
If 1 summary just isn’t enough check out the FORRT website forrt.org/summaries/! The summaries are a work in progress & we are always looking for people to contribute their thoughts/ideas - if you’d like to get involved or have comments get in touch we’d love to hear from you!
Kicking off the #OpenScience summaries with 7 Easy Steps to Open Science! The paper provides an introduction to open science and related reforms in the form of an annotated reading list of seven peer-reviewed articles! 👏
Doing a #PhD or #Postdoc & want to write #RegisteredReports in a short timeframe?

But first, what are Registered Reports (RRs)? RRs are a publication format used by over 250 journals that prevent various forms of biased inference and reporting. To do that, RRs split the paper into two stages: 2/n
1⃣A stage 1 RR consists of the introduction, method and analysis plan. These elements are peer reviewed and the journal grants in-principle acceptance based on the importance of the research question & the robustness of the methods. 3/n
Been thinking about the connection between the publication/peer review process and the (toxic?) culture of defensiveness/combativeness in academia.
We’ve set up a system where scholars invests a lot in their ideas (e.g., run studies, write manuscripts)...

... and then are put in a position to defend those ideas from reviewers' critiques when the work is done.
Essentially, we incentivize them to be combatants and staunch defenders of their ideas, rewarding them for digging their heals in when faced with criticism or new ideas.

But #RegisteredReports are a game changer in the culture of scientific knowledge production. Since in this model researchers and reviewers work together prior to data collection, it incentivizes openness and collaboration to improve the work beforehand...

Purpose: to provide research methods training in a hands-on, collaborative setting to researchers from different methodological backgrounds, i.e. linguists, psychologists, theorists, experimentalists, corpus linguists, etc.
Topics to be covered in a hand-on context include:
- Deciding on a research topic
- Transforming the research topic into a research question
- Developing experimental hypotheses
- Designing an experiment to test hypotheses
- Making clear predictions based on the design
