The editors of Behavioral Neuroscience have been discussing several recent developments in the landscape of scientific publishing. The discussion was prompted, in part, by reported issues of reproducibility and concerns about the integrity of the scientific literature. Although enhanced rigor and transparency in science are certainly important, a related issue is that increased competition and focus on novel findings has impeded the extent to which the scientific process is cumulative. We have decided to join the growing number of journals that are adopting new reviewing and publishing practices to address these problems. In addition to our standard research articles, we are pleased to announce 3 new categories of articles: replications, registered reports, and null results. In joining other journals in psychology and related fields to offer these publication types, we hope to promote higher standards of methodological rigor in our science. This will ensure that our discoveries are based on sound evidence and that they provide a durable foundation for future progress. (PsycINFO Database Record
《行为神经科学》的编辑们一直在讨论科学出版领域最近的几项发展。部分讨论是由报道的可重复性问题以及对科学文献完整性的担忧引发的。虽然提高科学的严谨性和透明度固然重要，但一个相关问题是，竞争加剧和对新发现的关注阻碍了科学进程的累积程度。我们决定加入越来越多采用新的评审和出版实践来解决这些问题的期刊行列。除了我们的标准研究文章外，我们很高兴地宣布新增三类文章：重复研究、注册报告和阴性结果。通过与心理学及相关领域的其他期刊一起提供这些出版类型，我们希望在我们的科学领域提升方法严谨性的标准。这将确保我们的发现基于可靠的证据，并为未来的进展提供坚实的基础。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
