Psycho-Oncology journal now accepts Registered Reports, a new form of empirical article in which the methods and proposed analyses are preregistered and reviewed prior to research being conducted.

The cornerstone of the Registered Reports format is that a significant part of the manuscript will be assessed prior to data collection, with the highest quality submissions accepted in advance.

This format is designed to minimise bias in deductive science, while also allowing complete flexibility to conduct exploratory (unregistered) analyses and report serendipitous findings. Learn more here.
