In crsh/prereg: R Markdown Templates to Preregister Scientific Studies

Description

The provided R Markdown templates are based on the Center for Open Science Preregistration Challenge, the AsPredicted.org questions, a template suggested for social psychology by van 't Veer and Giner-Sorolla (2016), and the replication recipe suggested by Brandt et al. (2013).

System requirements

Before using prereg to create a preregistration document, make sure the following software is installed on your computer:

• RStudio (>= 0.98.932); if you don't use RStudio , you need to install pandoc using the instructions for your operating system

• A TeX distribution (2013 or later; e.g., MikTeX for Windows, MacTeX for Mac, obviously, or TeX Live for Linux)

If you are running Windows, use MikTex if possible. Currently, pandoc and the Windows version of Tex Live don't seem to like each other. Make sure you install the complete—not the basic—version.
