Preregistering studies is an effective open science technique because it documents which (analytical) decisions were made prior to knowing the data. However, preregistration involves additional effort. ZPID, the Leibniz Institute for Psychology, fosters open science practices in psychology and related disciplines by providing researchers with tools and services at each stage of the scientific process. The Pre-Registration in Psychology platform (https://prereg-psych.org) provides information on preregistration, templates for creating your own preregistration, and the possibility to easily submit and publish to a repository. The platform is introduced in this demonstration.Requirements: Bring a laptop, if you want to click along but just watching is fine.

In recent years, it became obvious that Open Science practices, like sharing research data in a (re)usable way means additional effort. In particular, the quality-assured and sustainable provision of research data requires at least a minimum of data documentation. For optimal (re)use, typically three levels of data documentation or metadata are needed: (1) The basic resource description for collection management and resource discovery (Dublin Core); (2) the study-level documentation for research context and methods; and (3) the data-level documentation (codebooks or data dictionaries).In order to facilitate the laborious task of data documentation in psychology, a web-based tool - named DataWiz - was developed. The primary goal of the development project funded by the German Research Foundation was to lower the hurdle to do data documentation and to make it an integral part of common research practices in psychology. This demo aims to introduce the documentation module of DataWiz, which allows researchers to create a research data object containing the data and metadata in a non-proprietary format that can be uploaded to research data repositories.

emoTouch Web is a new web-based system for designing, conducting, and evaluating continuous response real-time studies. It is based on web and network technologies and turns any modern smartphone, tablet, laptop and desktop computer into a flexible and reliable research and audience feedback tool in laboratory, online, and live settings.The interface of emoTouch studies is completely configurable and may contain an unlimited number of interface elements like one-dimensional sliders, 2D rating areas, category scales, checkboxes, buttons, images and text elements. Any audio or video files can also be integrated and will play from the participant's devices. The interface will dynamically adapt to the various screen sizes and ratios.
Once a study is designed and started, it can be accessed just by scanning the study's QR Code. Subjects can even participate with the smartphones they carry in their pockets anyway ('Bring-Your-Own-Device', BYOD). This easily enables e.g. audience studies and feedback situations with hundreds of participants at the same time.
For the evaluation of the collected real-time data, emoTouch also contains coordinated tools for the graphical and numerical display and analysis of the data in longitudinal and cross-section.
emoTouch Web can be useful in all disciplines that deal with time-bound phenomena, such as music, theatre, dance, film, commercials, lectures, speeches or sport events. The system was developed at the musicology department of Osnabrück University (Germany) and is available free of charge for scientific purposes at https://www.emotouch.de.
The demonstration shows the possibilities of the system as well as the flow of a typical research process with emoTouch Web.
Requirements: For an active participation in a demo study, you will need a reliable wifi connection, a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. To actively try the system's researcher interface, you will need a laptop.Website: https://www.psychnotebook.org/
PsychNotebook is a platform that offers statistical software such as RStudio and JupyterLab in an online environment. It is a tool to promote open science, in particular transparent and reproducible analyses, with a focus on teaching and collaboration.PsychNotebook supports teaching (and learning) code-based analyses by removing the hassle of installing or setting up software. In PsychNotebook you can create projects that contain scripts, data, instructions and more. You can share your projects with your students (copy access) or your collaborators (edit access) so that recipients work with exactly the same files in exactly the same software environment. Problems caused by working on different versions or in different directories are thus eliminated. Likewise projects can be easily archived and then imported again, resulting in the same scripts running in the same software environment as before. In this demonstration, I will introduce the features of PsychNotebook described above.

This demo will introduce PsychArchives, the disciplinary repository for psychological science. Recent years have seen the gradual but sustained growth in practices collectively known as ‘Open Science’. Part of this ongoing cultural change, which is well underway in Psychology, has been a growing advocacy for transparency and access to research output from across the entire research cycle. PsychArchives, which is maintained by the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID), provides the necessary sustainable infrastructure to achieve these goals. In PsychArchives, a variety of digital research objects, including articles, preprints, research data, code, supplements, preregistrations and tests, are safely stored and made accessible for the long term.Requirements: None.
