Figure 1: How preregistration fits into the publication process
The replication crisis—a failure to replicate foundational studies—has sparked a conversation in psychology, HCI, and beyond about scientific reliability. To address the crisis, researchers increasingly adopt preregistration: the practice of documenting research plans before conducting a study. We view preregistration, often an online form/template, as a user-centered design problem to ensure preregistration achieves its intended goal.
I conducted all the interviews and analyzed the results with help from Licheng Zhu.
