A nice article from Stuart Ritchie advocating for preregistrations

Nice article indeed, thank you, @Gavin.

I do have a subscription to Ritchie’s newsletter Science Fictions - [https://stuartritchie.substack.com/](https://stuartritchie.substack.com/)

Good stuff 😉

@Gavin interesting! Out of curiosity, does anyone have any recommendations for literature/books about experimental design (I realize this may be to a great extent dependent on the field)?

Edit: To add a link to a book I came across recently that I’d like to go through a bit: [https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/comparison-of-statistical-experiments/405F64D2A2FB3A4E6A1893C1C8A4A60B](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/comparison-of-statistical-experiments/405F64D2A2FB3A4E6A1893C1C8A4A60B)
