Open science practices, such as pre-registration and data sharing, increase transparency and may improve the replicability of developmental science. However, developmental science has lagged behind other fields in implementing open science practices. …
Answering the question of what fraction of a journal’s papers were previously available as a preprint is quite difficult to do. The tricky part is matching preprints (from a number of different servers) with the published output from a journal. The …
In this editorial, we define the practice of “preregistration” of research and describe its motivations, explain why we believe preregistration templates should make preregistration more effective as an intervention for improving the quality of …
