@nature.com is expanding Registered Reports - an article type where the research plan is reviewed prior to conducting the study, and, if it passes peer review, we promise to publish it regardless of the results - to all fields we publish + a broader range of research: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Registered Reports improve the credibility of scientific claims by rewarding big questions, sound methods and solid analyses. They need to become a standard tool in research.
