Document: Pre-Registration: Open Science of Reading Review

This is a pre-registration for a study beginning February 2024. The study is a meta-scientific systematic review of published research literature in the content area of reading in order to estimate the prevalence of participation in key open science practices amongst authors publishing on this topic. This study is a conceptual replication and extension of previous studies by Cook et al. (2023) and Hardwicke et al. (2020; 2021). Rather than estimating the prevalence of open science practices among scientific literature authored by researchers in a particular discipline (e.g., special education or psychology), our review focuses on literature published on a particular topic in 2023: the scientific study of reading, anchored in the Simple View of Reading (Hoover & Gough, 1980).
