The Need for Synergy in Academic Policies: An Introduction to the Dialogue on Pre‐registration
作为研究对话的导论，探讨了预注册实验研究的争议，强调期刊、审稿团队、作者和机构之间需要协同，以成功采纳预注册政策。
There has been much debate on the need for preregistering experimental studies. Opinions differ with some people believing that “pre‐registration should be required—for us to believe the results of papers,” and others believing that “pre‐registration makes no difference to science and just adds work.” This research dialogue brings differing viewpoints together, in an open academic dialogue. Two target articles and two commentaries discuss what pre‐registration does for replicability of studies, and what cost it adds on authors and reviewers. Additionally, in my introduction to the research dialogue, I deliberate on the need for synergy between our journals, review teams, authors, and institutions, in order for any new policies on pre‐registration to be successfully adopted.
