Editorial: Introducing Registered Reports
نویسنده
چکیده
The way we do science is rather stereotyped. We have hypotheses to test, and we plan the experiments, sometimes a long time ahead, to test these hypotheses. Writing a grant proposal is a typical example: we give a detailed plan of what we are going to do in the coming years. Of course, we never know how a project will evolve, and deviations from the original plan are commonplace, as milestones may not be reached. But in many instances, the hypothesis is such that deviations rarely occur. Preclinical studies are a prototypical example: we test whether a drug can treat a particular disorder. The experimental plan is straightforward. Unavoidably, many projects lead to dead ends, negative results, etc.
