This guide outlines the rigorous, model-based standards required for data analysis and statistical reporting in Cognitive Psychology manuscripts. It covers essential techniques such as model comparison (using AIC/BIC or Bayes factors), demonstrating parameter and model recovery, implementing mixed or hierarchical Bayesian models, and ensuring all findings are fully reproducible from shared code.

This guide details the rigorous requirements for achieving research reproducibility in academic publishing. It moves beyond simple data sharing, mandating that authors deposit model-fitting code, analysis scripts, and materials with persistent identifiers (DOI). Key steps include ensuring reported results can regenerate in a fresh session, completing declarations of competing interests, and linking pre-registrations, ensuring compliance with strict journal standards.

This guide provides a rigorous strategy for authors responding to major or minor revisions in cognitive psychology journals. It teaches how to systematically address every reviewer comment, strengthen model-driven inferences through techniques like model comparison and recovery analysis, and maintain the coherence and reproducibility of the theoretical argument. Essential reading for scholarly publication.

This comprehensive checklist guides authors through the final pre-submission review process for demanding academic journals. It ensures the manuscript is scientifically rigorous and complete, focusing on critical areas such as model-driven theoretical advancement, model comparison, data reproducibility (depositing code and verifying fit regeneration), and adherence to open science mandates. Use this guide before uploading to the journal's portal.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for presenting tables and figures in Cognitive Psychology manuscripts. It emphasizes moving beyond simple bar charts of means, requiring authors to overlay the model's predicted curve onto observed data, reveal distributions and uncertainty intervals, and accurately report parameter estimates with confidence intervals. The goal is to ensure reproducible, comprehensive, and highly informative scientific communication.

This guide outlines the rigorous process of formalizing cognitive theories for academic manuscripts. It teaches researchers how to structure a computational or mathematical model, define interpretable parameters, and derive discriminating predictions that differentiate their theory from rival accounts. Essential for moving from a verbal hypothesis to a testable, falsifiable scientific model.

This tool serves as an orchestrator for authors preparing submissions to Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier). It guides users through the entire research lifecycle—from initial topic selection and theoretical formalization to study design, data analysis, and open science practices. It emphasizes structuring the contribution as a model-driven, multi-experiment program, ensuring all necessary steps, including code transparency, are addressed.

A comprehensive guide for advanced quantitative research, focusing on demonstrating the validity of econometric methods. It outlines best practices for combining rigorous Monte Carlo simulations (stress-testing DGPs, baselines) with substantive real-world data applications, essential for publication in high-impact economics and statistics journals.
