Support: FAQ

1. We need to change something (e.g., wording, typo, etc.) in our pre-registration, can you change it for us?
We never make any changes to pre-registrations. Authors have the following options to make edits or flag problems:

If it has not been approved yet by all authors, they may reject it, and create a new pre-registration, the answers of the rejected pre-registration can be automatically copy pasted to the new form, and then edited before submitting.

If it has been approved by all authors, and it has been only a few days since its creation, you may start a new pre-registration. You will be asked how it relates to recently created pre-registrations and you may deem the existing one a 'draft', this will lead the new pre-registration to replace the old one, the draft, which will then be deleted.

If it has been more than a few days since the to-be-edited pre-registration was created, or if you have already generated a .pdf, you can no longer delete it or edit it. You can explain in your paper any shortcomings with the pre-registration that you want to alert readers to.

2. I created a .pdf of a pre-registration by mistake, can you make it private again?
No. For transparency and credibility of the pre-registration system, once a link to the pre-registration is created, the link must always be available.
But, a link to the anonymized version of the pre-registration can still be used, so you can still share your pre-registration without disclosing your identity. You can find that link to the anonymized version rigt under the link to their public version in the page listing your pre-registrations.

3. I indicated two pre-registrations are related and they were bundled but I made a mistake, they are not related, can you unbundle them for me?
No. For transparency and credibility of the pre-registration system, once something is included in a shared pre-registration it must always be included, and that includes links to other pre-registrations the authors indicated were related.

4. Something is wrong with how my pre-registration is displayed, can you fix it?
Yes. We will fix anything that is our responsibility. Examples include titles that do not fit the .pdf width, and characters that do not display correctly in the pdf.

5. I no longer have access to my old email account, can you help me recover my old-pre-registrations?
Yes. Create a new account with an email address you do have access to, visit the account page and enter the email address of your previous account as a secondary email for the new one.

6. It's something else
