This guide details the rigorous evaluation criteria used by top-tier psychological journals, focusing on the robustness, transparency, and quality of preregistration. It helps authors stress-test their manuscripts before submission, pre-empt common rejection reasons, and strategically shape their work to increase the likelihood of publication acceptance.

This skill guides the planning of psychological studies to meet the highest academic standards. It provides comprehensive methodologies for performing power analysis, justifying sample sizes, and implementing preregistration protocols. Use this when initiating a new research project or developing a pre-analysis plan to ensure the study design is robust and transparent.

A comprehensive guide and fit test designed to help researchers assess whether their empirical psychology project meets the high standards of top-tier journals like Psychological Science. It evaluates key criteria including broad impact, statistical robustness, open science readiness (preregistration/data sharing), and adherence to strict format limits. Use this skill to pressure-test your idea before committing resources to data collection or analysis, guiding you toward the optimal manuscript type (e.g., Research Article vs. Registered Report).

This skill guides authors in assembling a comprehensive transparency package for academic submissions (especially meta-analyses). It ensures adherence to Open Science principles by detailing requirements for protocol preregistration (PROSPERO/OSF), depositing the coded database, codebook, and analysis scripts. It is essential for proving the full reproducibility of quantitative research findings.

A comprehensive guide for developing a rigorous, a-priori protocol for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in educational research. This tool ensures methodological transparency by defining the scope (PICO), eligibility criteria, search strategies, screening procedures, and synthesis plans before any data is collected, protecting the integrity of the research findings.
