# Preregistration Template — OSF Standard 21-Item Preregistration Template
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
A fill-in template based on the OSF Standard Pre-Data Collection Registration format. Researchers complete this template before data collection and upload it to a preregistration platform (e.g., OSF Registries).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Complete this template **before** data collection
|
|
2. Items marked `[Required]` are mandatory; `[Optional]` are recommended but not required
|
|
3. If an item is not applicable, write "Not applicable" and briefly explain why
|
|
4. After completion, go to [OSF Registries](https://osf.io/registries) to create a preregistration
|
|
5. Once submitted, preregistrations cannot be modified (an embargo period can be set)
