Resources
Every successful project begins with a plan. Use these resources to create the most efficient plan for your project.
Pre-registering allows you to share and “publish” the intentions of your work before it is complete. It increases the visibility and transparency of your research design.
- “First analysis of ‘pre-registered’ studies shows sharp rise in null findings” by M. Warren
- Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies
- Checklist of Required Information for Registry Entry
- “More and more scientists are preregistering their studies. Should you?” by K. Kupferschmidt
- AsPredict, Wharton – University of Pennsylvania
- OpenScience Framework
- IES SEER Principle of Preregistration
Sharing data is the leading-edge research practice. It promotes the research community’s ability to understand and build on your valuable research contributions by preserving your data, keeping it secure, and making it available for reuse and redistribution.
- Deposit your data to the AERA-ICPSR-NSF archive
- Share your data to fulfill AERA archiving and replication requirements
