Research Preregistration: Submit your research plan to promote openness and reproducibility
University Libraries will host a workshop on research preregistration on Monday, March 27 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm. Preregistering your research creates a time-stamped plan for your hypothesis, study design and data analysis that can help you meet publishing requirements and affirm your commitment to research integrity and reproducibility. During this virtual session, Amie Freeman, Scholarly Communication and Open Initiatives Librarian, and Stacy Winchester, Research Data Librarian, will teach the basics of preregistration and how to preregister your research plan with Open Science Framework. Register online here.
