There is also bad news. If you are a Registered Reports (RR) or a PD journal. RRs are still almost non-existent. PD journals are failing at showing their work, although PDTRT is doing better than JPD. Across 299 coded articles, rates for code, data, and preregistration are 13%, 13%, and 9.7%. 3/5
I find it embarrassing for the PD field. Our next door neighbor is putting us to shame. We can (and must do better). Make your work transparent. Expect it of others. If authors won’t share ingredients (data/code/prereg), don’t eat there—don’t read it, don’t cite it. Secrets aren’t science. 4/5
Finally, Colin and I explain why this paper was itself not preregistered (although data and code are available) and what are the implications of that. 5/5
