Pre-registration & Analysis Plan Template

A reproducible, guided pre-registration form that captures study aims, hypotheses, outcomes, sample size logic, analysis steps, handling of missing data, stopping rules, and data/code sharing plans — with fields designed to lock in decisions and reduce post-hoc bias.

Experiment Protocol & Pre-registration Template

A practical, section-by-section experiment protocol and preregistration template that teams can complete prior to data collection. Includes clear prompts for objectives, outcomes, methods, randomization, sample-size justification, data capture formats, QA checks, analysis plans, versioning, and sign-offs—plus a short pre-registration checklist and tips to improve reproducibility.

Preregistration & Preprint Readiness Checklist (Interactive Template)

Interactive template to preregister hypotheses, outcomes, analysis plans, ethics and data-sharing details, and to assess preprint readiness. Save structured responses, link to registries and preprint servers, and produce a clear readiness score.
