Open Science and Pre-Registration in Management Research: Myths, Truths, and Best Practices
Dr. Roman Briker
Maastricht University
February 28th, 9:00 AM ET
Lecture Abstract
With prominent researchers faking their data, publishing findings that are physically impossible (“Feeling the future”), and large-scale research projects revealing that most findings in management and the broader social sciences are not replicable, management scholars face a credibility crisis. After briefly showcasing the reasons and processes that led to this situation, I will showcase pre-registration as a pathway to more trustworthy, rigorous, and better research. I will talk about why, where, and how authors should pre-register their studies. We will discuss common myths surrounding pre-registration and provide empirical evidence in this regard. Finally, I will showcase examples of best practices for pre-registration on the platforms of the Open Science Framework and AsPredicted.Org.
