We are extremely pleased to announce that we are now considering Registered Reports for cognitive neuroscience, human behaviour & psychology, and epidemiology.
In Registered Reports, peer- review of the study protocol and analysis plan happens before the research starts and results are known. If accepted, the protocol is pre-registered.
By focusing on the importance of the research question and the strength of the methodologies, the format fosters transparency and reproducibility. It also supports the undertaking of replication studies.
Attention all scientists (please RT): Announcing an urgent call at Royal Society Open Science for rapidly reviewed Registered Reports in any field related to

We encourage plans to analyse behavioural and psychological impacts of the pandemic. We are also interested in proposals geared at estimating infection rates and their evolution in different populations.
