This workshop is aimed at researchers who are relatively new to preregistration or who have unanswered questions during preregistering their studies and would like to clarify these uncertainties.
The workshop will be divided into two parts:

• The first part will give a general introduction to preregistration and will illustrate why it is important that researchers preregister their studies, which will be supported by the latest findings from our own research.

• In the second part, participants will be guided through the preregistration process and will create their own preregistrations using the PRP-QUANT template (https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.4584). For this purpose, the template will first be presented in more detail. Participants will then have time to work on their own preregistrations. Afterward, participants will work in teams of two to receive peer feedback on their preregistrations.

The workshop will conclude with a demonstration of the ZPID’s preregistration platform PreReg (https://prereg-psych.org/) where preregistrations can be published to complete the preregistration process.
Lastly, we will discuss all further questions and open issues so that at the end of the workshop, participants will be empowered to complete their preregistrations on their own based on the input of the workshop and their peer’s feedback.
Participant requirements: No prior knowledge is necessary. Since the participants will work on their own preregistrations in the workshop, everyone is encouraged to think about a specific project idea or research question beforehand (e.g., a project they are currently working on) that they would like to implement in their preregistration. Participants need to bring a laptop.
