Relaunch of ZPID’s Preregistration Platform PreReg

Bettina Leuchtenberg Kommunikation und Events
Leibniz-Institut für Psychologie (ZPID)

    From now on, the website has a new design and an even clearer structure.

    PreReg guides researchers through all preregistration steps and now offers an even clearer website structure.

    With preregistration, researchers document and publish their study plans before collecting or analyzing their data, which increases transparency in the research process and can reduce questionable research practices. Since 2020, the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) has been supporting the preregistration of studies in psychology and neighboring disciplines with its service PreReg. Now, the website has a new design and an even clearer structure.

    PreReg guides researchers through all the steps of the preregistration, which are now presented in separate sections on the website. In the “Create” section, researchers are supported in the preparation of the study protocol by various templates. The resulting protocols can then be published via a direct link to PsychArchives, the disciplinary repository for psychological science and neighboring disciplines.

    Plans can change, and sometimes deviations from preregistrations are unavoidable or improve the quality of the study - in these cases, it is important to be able to report deviations from preregistered plans easily and transparently. To support this, PreReg offers the “Update” section, where a template for reporting deviations is provided. Finally, in the “Explore” section, researchers can find out more about preregistration and get answers to the most important questions.

    Search / advanced search of the idw archives
    Combination of search terms

    You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

    Brackets

    You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

    Phrases

    Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

    Selection criteria

    You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

    If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
