It includes a guided workflow to help you create a preregistration. - Get started now: osf.io/registries **Resources and Further Readings** - *Can you preregister if you are using existing data?* Yes, see template available at osf.io/registries - “The Preregistration Revolution” (https://www.pnas.org/content/115/11/2600), which covers nine challenging situations in which preregistration is beneficial. - A blog series about preregistration: https://cos.io/blog/tag/preregistration/ - The Guardian, Trust in science would be improved by study pre-registration, goo.gl/P8RYSt - Nature, A manifesto for reproducible science, goo.gl/fKEHkL A presentation from a community member introducing OSF: https://osf.io/dh62a/ A helpful osf presentation on how to create your first works: https://osf.io/zxmkf/
