Preregistration: A Key to Credible Real‐World Evidence Generation

Here, we discuss the advantages of preregistration, explore barriers to its implementation, and highlight existing repositories for preregistering real-world evidence study protocols. A relatively new option is the Real-World Evidence Registry within the Open Science Framework (OSF), which we briefly introduce.

Abstract

Here, we discuss the advantages of preregistration, explore barriers to its implementation, and highlight existing repositories for preregistering real-world evidence study protocols. A relatively new option is the Real-World Evidence Registry within the Open Science Framework (OSF), which we briefly introduce.
