It means that what was done is much more reproducible.”</em></blockquote><p><br></p><p>Professor John Marsden is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal <em>Addiction. </em>He is Professor of Addiction psychology at the Addictions Department, the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Kings College London.</p><br><p>Marsden, J, Cousijn, J and Stapleton, J, Pre‐registration: not a daunting practice. <em>Addiction.</em> 2022. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/add.15819" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1111/add.15819</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
