Pre‐registration is a Game Changer. But, Like Random Assignment, it is Neither Necessary Nor Sufficient for Credible Science
回应了Pham和Oh（2020）反对预注册的15个主张，同意其中7个但认为它们不能推迟预注册的推广。作者指出，预注册和随机分配一样，虽非必要或充分，但都能提高研究的可信度，预注册是游戏规则改变者。
We identify 15 claims Pham and Oh (2020) make to argue against pre‐registration. We agree with 7 of the claims, but think that none of them justify delaying the encouragement and adoption of pre‐registration. Moreover, while the claim they make in their title is correct—pre‐registration is neither necessary nor sufficient for a credible science—this is also true of many our science’s most valuable tools, such as random assignment. Indeed, both random assignment and pre‐registration lead to more credible research. Pre‐registration is a game changer.
