Hello epidemiologists: Why not try introducing Registered Reports at one of your many journals and find out?
Because if @RegReports are vulnerable to "hacking", just imagine how much of your regular research ispic.twitter.com/eft8nRmECN

I suppose someone could secretly run a whole study, do the analysis, and then create a HARK'd "fake" prereg with altered dates on IRB/raw data/etc....but it would be a LOT more work than just faking the data in the first place, and for that reason seems a low likelihood scenario
It would also fall of the rails as soon as a stage 1 reviewer asks for even the most trivial change to the study procedures, as all revs do. With their bluff called, fraudsters would then need to either withdraw entirely or “agree” but then lie about what procedures are/were.
Soooooo edgy.
I'm feeling like I need to write more papers with hacking in the title. Why do I have to miss out on all the cool.
I find the letter not convincing but on the positive side I’m happy our field is finally talking about preregistration and registered reports
Still, I’m wondering how to implement registered reports in a field where so much data analyses are re-analyses of existing datasets. Any thoughts on that @chrisdc77?
I’m also losing patience with arguments that boil down to “I can think of a convoluted (and usually unquestionably fraudulent) way to game that system, so I don’t have to even think about whether it’s better than the current one.”
I felt the same. I think it is quite disingenuous to have mentioned reg' reports at all. Their discussion focuses on pre-registered trials, and the like - different thing
The letter reads like being all over the place. Prereg analytic choices that vary across researchers seem to be conflated with genuine non-prereg hacking. And non-reproducibility is also in the mix. Maybe the formal model clears things up, if they intend to develop one
