DESCRIPTION:MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP\n\nIn 2013\, Cortex became the first jour
 nal to offer Registered Reports\, a format of preregistered empirical publ
 ication in which peer review happens prior to data collection and analysis
  (see https://cos.io/rr/). The aim of Registered Reports is to overcome pu
 blication bias and various forms of researcher bias (e.g. selective report
 ing of statistically significant results and hindsight bias)\, by performi
 ng peer review in part before studies commence. Publishability is then dec
 ided by the importance of the research question/theory and quality of the 
 methodology\, and never based on the results of hypothesis testing. In thi
 s talk I will introduce the concept of Registered Reports and provide an u
 pdate on its progress\, including its uptake by more than 170 journals\, i
 ncluding outlets in the Nature group\, generalist journals including Royal
  Society Open Science\, and emerging randomised trial formats. I will also
  discuss early evidence of impacts on the field and emerging Registered Re
 port funding models in which journals and funders simultaneously assess pr
 oposed protocols. Together with a wide range of allied initiatives\, Regis
 tered Reportare helping to reshape the life and social sciences to place t
 heory\, transparency and reproducibility at the forefront. The session wil
 l include an audience-led Q&A and open discussion.
