The CLEAR Lab is part of the movement in psychopathology and clinical science to increase transparency and open science practices. That includes things like preregistration of hypotheses and analytic plan, sharing deidentified datasets, and sharing code needed to reproduce analyses.
I require preregistration of all analytic projects in the lab— from conference abstracts to primary grant outcome papers, we spend a lot of time on the front end planning, organizing, and writing down our expected approach. I like to have accountability to report our scientific results as they relate to our original ideas, because this represents more genuine/honest communication with scientific colleagues, and it’s closer to how I think science is supposed to work.
Check out my Open Science Framework page here— it’s a great place to see all of the lab’s preregistrations:
