“…Some researchers may already be familiar with the concept of preregistration from registration of clinical trials or systematic reviews/meta-analyses. Commonly, nontrial research is preregistered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) website (https://osf.io/prereg/), where researchers have the option of using a general template or several specific templates depending on the nature of their research, for example, using preexisting data (Mertens & Krypotos, 2019; van den Akker et al, 2019), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (Beyer et al, 2021), cognitive modeling (Cruwell & Evans, 2021), experience sampling (Kirtley, Lafit et al, 2021), or qualitative methods (Hartman et al, 2019). For examples of preregistration in the suicide and self-injury field, see Holman and Williams (2019); Knipe and Rajapakse (2021); Robinson and Wilson (2020); Warne et al (2020); Dobias et al (2021); Kaurin, Wright, Hisler et al (2020).…”

Dr. Kirtley's research uses experience sampling methods to investigate dynamic processes involved in suicidal ideation and behavior. She cochairs the IASP Early Career Group and is an editorial board member of Crisis.Julie J. Janssens, is a clinical psychologist and a doctoral researcher at the Center for Contextual Psychiatry, KU Leuven, Belgium. Her research is mainly focused on investigating predictors and correlates of self-harm thoughts and behaviors in young people, using the experience sampling methodology, with a special focus on attachment relationships.

“…For fMRI studies, previous work has established reporting standards ( Nichols et al, 2017 ; Poldrack et al, 2008 ; eCOBIDAS, https://osf.io/anvqy/ ) as well as a standardized data structure (BIDS, Gorgolewski et al, 2016 ; see also Table of Resources in Supplementary file 1 ). Furthermore, a recently published pre-registration template provides an exhaustive list of information related to fMRI studies, which might be considered not only during pre-registration but also when reporting a completed study ( Beyer et al, 2021 ).…”

Human neuroscience has always been pushing the boundary of what is measurable. During the last decade, concerns about statistical power and replicability – in science in general, but also specifically in human neuroscience – have fueled an extensive debate. One important insight from this discourse is the need for larger samples, which naturally increases statistical power. An alternative is to increase the precision of measurements, which is the focus of this review. This option is often overlooked, even though statistical power benefits from increasing precision as much as from increasing sample size. Nonetheless, precision has always been at the heart of good scientific practice in human neuroscience, with researchers relying on lab traditions or rules of thumb to ensure sufficient precision for their studies. In this review, we encourage a more systematic approach to precision. We start by introducing measurement precision and its importance for well-powered studies in human neuroscience. Then, determinants for precision in a range of neuroscientific methods (MRI, M/EEG, EDA, Eye-Tracking, and Endocrinology) are elaborated. We end by discussing how a more systematic evaluation of precision and the application of respective insights can lead to an increase in reproducibility in human neuroscience.

“…Additionally, the specificity of hypotheses can vary greatly. Currently, there are excellent templates available for researchers who want to pre-register their experimental design, pre-processing decisions, and analyses planned for hypothesis-testing when using techniques such as fMRI (e.g., Beyer at al., 2021). Many neuroscience-focused journals now accept Registered Reports (e.g., Cortex, Development Cognitive Neuroscience, Frontiers in Neuroscience, Nature Communications) whereby reviewers consider manuscripts on the basis of the strength of their methods and a priori analytical plan rather than the significance of the results.…”

The success of Open Science in addressing the replication crisis and restoring credibility in psychology can be understood more completely by examining the successes and challenges of adapting the recommended best practices by researchers at different types of institutions, different career stages, and from different subfields within social and personality psychology. In this article, we offer personal reflections about the impact and future of the Open Science movement in a conversational form between three researchers at varying career stages who focus on different subdisciplines (relationship science, diversity science, and social neuroscience and social cognition) and work at universities that place a different emphasis on research (relative to teaching and service). We see many successes of the open science movement, but we also note that implementation has trailed behind its full potential because (a) the incentive structures of our existing rigid system remain misaligned with some open-science goals, and (b) some open science solutions were designed by researchers with certain types of scientific practices in mind. We all feel encouraged by the focus on larger samples, greater data sharing, and pre-registration both for experimental design and analytical decisions. However, there are areas that need attention. Our perspective is that the open science movement has not been as strong of an ally as it could be to another goal of psychological science: increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additionally, more careful consideration of how to facilitate data sharing and pre-registration is needed and may necessitate a shift in the incentive structure of our field.
