A proposal to encourage the preregistration of research on research integrity was developed and adopted as the Amsterdam Agenda at the 5th World Conference on Research Integrity (Amsterdam, 2017). This paper reports on the degree to which abstracts of the 6th World Conference in Research Integrity (Hong Kong, 2019) reported on preregistered research.
Conference registration data on participants presenting a paper or a poster at 6th WCRI were made available to the research team. Because the data set was too small for inferential statistics this report is limited to a basic description of results and some recommendations that should be considered when taking further steps to improve preregistration.
19% of the 308 presenters preregistered their research. Of the 56 usable cases, less than half provided information on the six key elements of the Amsterdam Agenda. Others provided information that invalidated their data, such as an uninformative URL. There was no discernable difference between qualitative and quantitative research.
Some presenters at the WCRI have preregistered their research on research integrity, but further steps are needed to increase frequency and completeness of preregistration. One approach to increase preregistration would be to make it a requirement for research presented at the World Conferences on Research Integrity.
一项鼓励对研究诚信研究进行预注册的提议被制定出来,并在第五届世界研究诚信大会(2017年,阿姆斯特丹)上作为《阿姆斯特丹议程》获得通过。本文报告了第六届世界研究诚信大会(2019年,香港)的摘要中报告预注册研究的程度。
研究团队获得了在第六届世界研究诚信大会上发表论文或展示海报的参会者的会议注册数据。由于数据集太小无法进行推断统计,本报告仅限于对结果的基本描述以及在采取进一步措施改进预注册时应考虑的一些建议。
308名演讲者中有19%对其研究进行了预注册。在56个可用案例中,不到一半提供了关于《阿姆斯特丹议程》六个关键要素的信息。其他案例提供的信息使他们的数据无效,例如一个没有信息量的网址。定性研究和定量研究之间没有明显差异。
世界研究诚信大会的一些演讲者对他们关于研究诚信的研究进行了预注册,但需要进一步采取措施来提高预注册的频率和完整性。提高预注册的一种方法是将其作为在世界研究诚信大会上展示的研究的一项要求。
