The reproducibility in biomedical research is strongly impaired by questionable research practices, non-publication of null-hypothesis results and sketchy reporting. Preregistration and reporting guidelines have proven their benefits in increasing the transparency of research studies. However, the uptake of both tools is still slow in biomedicine.
By developing roadmaps for the different stakeholders of the research system, we want to boost the implementation of preregistration and reporting guidelines to foster good reporting from the beginning to the end of the study. By combining these two major tools of responsible research, we want to identify synergies and learn from each other’s experiences.
