Preregistration Standards for Psychology - the Psychological Research Preregistration-Quantitative (aka PRP-QUANT) Template

As an international effort toward increasing psychology’s commitment to creating a stronger culture and practice of preregistration, a multi-society Preregistration Task Force* was formed, following the 2018 meeting of the German Psychological Society in Frankfurt, Germany. The task force created a detailed preregistration template that benefited from the APA JARS Quantitative Research Guidelines, as well as a comprehensive review of many other preregistration templates. At the annual meeting of the Society for Psychological Science (SIPS) in 2023, version 3 was developed by a group of contributors at a hackathon in Padova, Italy. For more information about preregistration and the template in particular, we recommend reading the journal article detailing the intent and creation of the template (https://doi.org/10.1037/amp0000879) and watching the webinar (http://bit.ly/PreRegWebinar) showing the launch of the template on October 27, 2020, featuring two keynote speakers: Simine Vazire of the University of Melbourne, and E. J. Wagenmakers of the University of Amsterdam. This entry features the template, PRP_QUANT, in its current and previous versions. The template can be downloaded here in various formats or completed online at https://prereg-psych.org/. *Preregistration Task Force members: from the American Psychological Association (APA): Fred Oswald - Open Science and Methodology Committee Member; Rose Sokol-Chang - Publisher, APA Journals and Books; Amanda Clinton - Director, APA International Affairs, from the British Psychological Society (BPS): Daryl O'Connor - Chair of the BPS Research Board; Lisa Coulthard - Head of Research and Impact, from the German Psychological Society (DGPs): Christian Fiebach - Secretary and Open Science Committee Member, from the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID): Michael Bosnjak - Director; Stefanie Mueller - Head of study planning, data collection, and data analysis services; Camila Azúa - Research Assistant, from the Center for Open Science (COS): David Mellor - Director of Policy Initiatives
