Psychology Research Report with Peer Review
12 weeks · 0 milestones
Write a complete psychology research report in IMRaD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion) and submit it to a structured peer review process — a university journal, a conference submission system, or a structured departmental peer review with at least two independent reviewers. Proof is the submitted report, the documented reviewer feedback received, and your written revision response explaining what you changed and why (or why you disagreed with a specific critique). At least one substantive methodological comment must be addressed in your revision. The peer review system is the adversarial verification: independent reviewers who challenge your methodology are the required assessors.

Conduct the pre-registered analysis on the collected data following the OSF pre-registration. Report results in APA format: descriptive statistics, primary analysis results (with effect sizes and confidence intervals, not just p-values), and any pre-registered secondary analyses. If the results differ from hypotheses, address this directly — null results and unexpected findings are valid research outcomes. Include a discussion section interpreting the findings in relation to the theoretical rationale stated in the pre-registration.
Proof required
Results and discussion document (700+ words) in APA format covering: descriptive statistics, primary analysis results with effect sizes and confidence intervals, discussion of findings in relation to pre-registered hypotheses, and direct address of null or unexpected results if present.
What gets checked
- Results reported with effect sizes and confidence intervals — not just p-values
- Null or unexpected results are addressed directly — not silently omitted
- Discussion interprets findings in relation to the pre-registered theoretical rationale
