Get Feedback, Work Smarter: The Hidden Perks of Preregistration

Preregistration isn’t just a box to tick—it’s a tool that helps us do better science with more confidence. In this talk, I’ll share how preregistration can actually make life easier for researchers. By preregistering studies on OSF, submitting Registered Reports, or using PeerCommunityIn (PCI), we can get early feedback that helps refine our methods before running into problems. It also boosts credibility, reduces the risk of questionable research practices, and can even increase the chances of getting published.
