Aim: We wanted to learn how the Registered Report article format was working for key stakeholder groups at the publisher Wiley.Methods: We surveyed editors, peer reviewers and authors via email with a link to a survey in Microsoft Forms. Quantitative and qualitative feedback was collected and assessed.Results: Authors and peer reviewers are very positive about their experience with Registered Reports. Editors are supportive of the initiative but highlight lack of submissions as their main challenge. Editors and authors would welcome the use of article badges as indicators of Registered Reports.Conclusion: The Registered Reports initiative is gaining support from across disciplines. However, more effort is needed to incentivise submissions of Registered Reports across journals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
