We describe three problems and a set of solutions.https://sarajweston.com/publication/moshontz-guide-2021/Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/moshontz-guide-2021/A practical guide, drawn from our own experience, for lead authors who have to turn the work of tens or hundreds of collaborators into one coherent manuscript.https://sarajweston.com/publication/van-den-akker-preregistration-2021/Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/van-den-akker-preregistration-2021/A 25-question preregistration template written for analyses of existing data, with guidance on each question and a worked example. It asks researchers to disclose what they already know about a dataset before they test a hypothesis.https://sarajweston.com/publication/atherton-why-2021/Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/atherton-why-2021/A subjective account, written by personality psychologists, of why our small subfield played a large part in psychology’s credibility revolution, and of the weaknesses we still need to fix.https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-coordinated-2020/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:41:45 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-coordinated-2020/A book chapter on coordinated analysis: running the same model in many independent datasets and combining the results. We give five recommendations and describe how we followed, and sometimes did not follow, them in a large healthy neuroticism project.https://sarajweston.com/publication/pfeifer-developmental-2020/Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/pfeifer-developmental-2020/An editorial introducing two new article types at Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Registered Reports and Next-Generation Tools, with attention to secondary analyses of large existing datasets.https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-recommendations-2019/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:41:45 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-recommendations-2019/Open-science reforms were built around newly collected data. We describe how researchers who analyze preexisting data can be transparent about what they knew in advance and test how well their results hold up.
