Registered Report Preparation
Prepare a methods-first journal submission.
Develop a Registered Report submission plan and Stage 1 materials for a suitable journal, with eligibility and timing assessed first.
Who this helps
For investigators planning a study or eligible secondary analysis who want methodological peer review through a participating journal’s Registered Report process.
What you receive
- Journal and timing assessment
- Check the selected journal’s current format, project eligibility, and the stage at which results or data have been examined.
- Stage 1 preparation
- Support for the rationale, hypotheses, methods, planned analyses, and outcome-neutral quality checks required by the agreed journal.
- Reviewer revision support
- A defined allowance for responses and revisions to methodological comments, if included in the quotation.
- Stage 2 planning notes
- A record of what must be retained and reported to compare the completed study with the accepted plan.
Scope to agree before work starts
The journal decides eligibility and in-principle acceptance. The format is not available for every study or journal, and acceptance cannot be guaranteed. Already observed outcomes must be disclosed; a retrospective analysis cannot be described as prospectively planned. Stage 2 submission is separate unless quoted.
Questions about this service
Is this the same as registering a protocol?
No. Protocol registration records a plan. Registered Reports involve a journal’s staged peer-review and acceptance process; requirements vary by journal.
Can an existing dataset be eligible?
Some journals support secondary-data Registered Reports under specified conditions. We assess the journal’s current rules and what the investigators have already seen.
