A comprehensive framework for transforming raw observations into rigorous, evidence-bounded, and testable research plans. It guides users through establishing research questions (PICO/PECO), formulating candidate hypotheses and rival explanations, defining causal estimands, and creating preregistration-ready analysis plans, all while maintaining strict ethical and scientific guardrails.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing manuscripts for journals requiring high standards of openness and rigor. It details how to prepare required materials, including data-availability statements, open data/materials deposits, pre-registration plans, and handling restricted data paths, ensuring submitted research is fully reproducible and verifiable.

A comprehensive guide for researchers in Developmental Psychology on meeting rigorous Open Science standards. It details best practices for data and materials sharing using Persistent Identifiers (DOIs), mandatory preregistration of hypotheses, sample-size justification, and adhering to ethical requirements when working with minors and vulnerable populations. It ensures compliance and reproducibility in modern scientific reporting.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for meeting modern academic publishing standards, particularly those required by educational psychology journals. It outlines mandatory requirements for ensuring research reproducibility, including depositing data, materials, and analysis code in trusted repositories with persistent identifiers (DOIs), adhering to JARS reporting standards, and documenting preregistration status.

This resource simulates the rigorous peer review process of a top journal, focusing on educational relevance, theoretical mechanism, design rigor (especially nested data analysis), and transparency standards (JARS, preregistration). Use this guide to stress-test your manuscript before submission, preemptively address common rejection patterns, or interpret a complex decision letter, ensuring your work meets the highest academic standards.

This skill assists researchers in creating methodologically rigorous study designs for educational psychology manuscripts, especially when dealing with nested data structures (e.g., students within classes within schools). It guides users in matching the unit of randomization, power, and analysis to the correct cluster level. Focus areas include ensuring robust cluster-level power, establishing ecological validity, developing pre-analysis plans, and adhering to preregistration standards.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing manuscripts for the Journal of Communication (JoC). It details the requirements for achieving open science and transparency, covering essential elements like the Data Availability Statement (DAS), Open Science Badges (Open Data, Open Materials, Preregistration), and best practices for ensuring reproducibility across quantitative, computational, and qualitative methodologies. Learn how to build materials as you write.

This guide outlines the rigorous open science and transparency requirements for submissions to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP). It details compliance with APA's TOP Guidelines at Level 2, mandating the proper disclosure of data, analysis code, and materials in a trusted repository. It also covers JARS reporting standards and guides authors on stating the preregistration status, ensuring research reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide for structuring a multi-study manuscript, particularly for high-tier journals. This skill focuses on building a coherent set of related studies—rather than a single experiment—to robustly test a major theory. It guides users through sequencing studies, determining necessary power, selecting appropriate designs (longitudinal, dyadic, experimental), and implementing preregistration to ensure convergence and internal validity.

A comprehensive skill guide for authors targeting Nature Human Behaviour. It assesses the fit of cross-disciplinary behavioral science manuscripts across psychology, neuroscience, economics, and sociology. The guide emphasizes open science practices, including preregistration, large-N designs, causal inference, and mandatory data transparency, ensuring submissions meet the journal's rigorous standards.

A comprehensive guide detailing the open science and reproducibility standards required for academic publications, especially those utilizing original data or conducting meta-science. It outlines critical steps such as data repository deposit, protocol preregistration, and reporting inter-rater reliability to ensure research methods are fully auditable.

This guide details the mandatory open science requirements for modern academic publishing, particularly in psychological sciences. It covers essential practices such as depositing open data and materials with DOIs, drafting a Research Transparency Statement, linking preregistrations, and properly handling exemptions. It ensures manuscripts meet the high standards of reproducibility and transparency required by top-tier journals.
