Dear list,
I'm going to try and get hearing science journals to start offering registered reports. These reports are basically peer-reviewed pre-registration documents where you outline your methods and proposed analyses. If this
document makes it through peer-review, the manuscript is provisionally accepted for publication. This process should reduce certain questionable research practices, such as selective reporting of results and publication bias. If you're sceptical
about registered reports, the Center for Open Science has compiled a nice FAQ list that might address some of your concerns:

I think this is the direction science is going in now and it would be great if hearing science joined in. I plan to contact as many hearing science journals as possible. I'm compiling a list of journals to contact. Please
add to this list if I'm missing anything:

If you agree that registered reports are a good idea and want to sign the letter I intend to send (see here for a template:
https://osf.io/3wct2/wiki/Journal%20Requests/), let me know and I'll add you to the list. And please spread the word of course. The more people agree, the more likely it is we can get some of these journals on board!
Best,
