Psychology

Psychology labs preregister, analyse and publish in one place. Lock hypotheses before the data comes in, compare groups and check assumptions with Stata-style commands, and track the paper through submission.

LabSpace for psychologists

• Preregister the hypothesis

  Write the hypotheses and analysis plan, then lock them. The locked plan carries a content hash and can be shared as a public record.

  1. Open the experiment's preregistration
  2. Write the hypothesis and analysis plan
  3. Lock the plan
  4. Share the public record

• Compare groups

  Compare an outcome across groups with a one-way ANOVA and look at the distributions before you report it.

  1. Load the survey data
  2. Summarise the outcome by group
  3. Run a one-way ANOVA
  4. Draw box plots by group

• Check assumptions

  Test for normality and fall back to a rank-based test when the data call for it, with both results in the same log.

  1. Test the outcome for normality
  2. Compare groups with a t-test
  3. Run the rank-sum test
  4. Plot the distribution against a normal

The tools behind it

• Preregistration: Plans locked with a content hash, shareable as a public record
• Stats: Tests, models and graphs from Stata-style commands
• Manuscripts: Write with references and figures, then track the submission
• Conferences: Submissions, sessions and reviews for the meetings you run or attend
