Adaptive Preregistration for Model-Based Research

This site provides a guide to implementing Adaptive Preregistration for Model-Based Research, with a focus on ecological modelling as it is used in both basic and applied contexts. This site covers the following topics:

  1. Background on researcher degrees of freedom, the risk of questionable research practices (QRPs), and introduction to preregistration as a tool for mitigating QRPs.
  2. Adaptive Preregistration
    1. Overview: What is adaptive preregistration, why do we need it for registering modeling analyses, and what are its defining features?
    2. A practical guide: How to implement adaptive preregistration using git and GitHub.
  3. Preregistration template for model-based research in ecology and conservation.
