Frequently Asked Questions about preregister

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a study preregistration document using AsPredicted standards?

To create a study preregistration using AsPredicted standards, you can use the preregister skill with the appropriate mode to generate a standardized template. It guides you through hypotheses, design, sampling, variables, and analysis to ensure transparency and replicability.

What is the best way to manage power calculations for non-standard empirical research designs?

For non-standard empirical research designs, the best way to manage power calculations is to use a preregistration skill that assists with power analysis and simulates synthetic data. This ensures your study design is robust before data collection begins.

Can I use OSF templates to document my empirical research ethics and data handling?

Yes, you can use OSF-Standard templates to document empirical research ethics and data handling. The skill provides specific guidance for ethical considerations and generates a time-stamped record of your study design and analysis plan.

Do I need to specify my sampling variables before starting study preregistration?

Yes, you need to specify sampling variables, study design details, and hypotheses before starting study preregistration. The skill guides you through filling out these specific details to ensure your empirical research plan is fully documented.

When do I need a time-stamped record of my study design and analysis plan?

You need a time-stamped record of your study design and analysis plan when you are about to start data collection for empirical research. This preregistration process ensures transparency, replicability, and adherence to OSF or AsPredicted standards.
