Following Elsevier's decision to raise the APC for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. EiCs @fmrib_steve @tobergmann @BirteUta) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately. I am joining this action and have also resigned imaging-neuroscience.org/Announcement.p…

Resignation statement. See https://imaging-neuroscience.org/Announcement.pdf for full announcement.

Nearly 12 yrs after Registered Reports were first introduced in the neuroscience community, and after being disinterested in RRs for many years under previous editors, it's good to see @NatureNeuro finally offering them. Change comes slowly but it comes.

www.nature.com Reducing publication bias with Registered Reports Nature Neuroscience - Nature Neuroscience now welcomes Registered Reports — a publishing format designed to prioritize methodological rigor.

Ever wondered how Registered Reports differ from the regular literature? Some great work has been done on this (eg by @annemscheel @lakens @cksoderberg) & I'd like to also highlight recent work of @AoifeOMahony15 whose PhD thesis you can download here!

Abstract
The replication crisis revealed high levels of bias and questionable research practices (QRPs) in psychology research. Registered Reports (RRs) have been increasingly adopted as a possible solution, but there has been relatively little evidence of whether this novel publishing format appears to be working as intended to reduce bias and QRPs. This project sought to build a detailed database of RRs and closely matched standard reports (SRs), to investigate whether RRs perform better than SRs on indicators of quality, rigour, and transparency.

Fully agree with @IanDunt. After the visceral short term thrill of dumping the Tories fades, I’m left with a far greater sense of excitement and anticipation about the competence of this cabinet. Democracy and competence, once distant friends, now united.
