The editors of Behavioral Neuroscience have been discussing several recent developments in the landscape of scientific publishing. The discussion was prompted, in part, by reported issues of reproducibility and concerns about the integrity of the scientific literature. Although enhanced rigor and transparency in science are certainly important, a related issue is that increased competition and focus on novel findings has impeded the extent to which the scientific process is cumulative. We have decided to join the growing number of journals that are adopting new reviewing and publishing practices to address these problems. In addition to our standard research articles, we are pleased to announce 3 new categories of articles: replications, registered reports, and null results. In joining other journals in psychology and related fields to offer these publication types, we hope to promote higher standards of methodological rigor in our science. This will ensure that our discoveries are based on sound evidence and that they provide a durable foundation for future progress. (PsycINFO Database Record

促进行为神经科学的透明度和可重复性：发布复制品，注册报告和空结果。

行为神经科学的编辑们一直在讨论科学出版领域的一些最新发展。讨论的部分原因是所报告的可再现性问题以及对科学文献完整性的关注。尽管增强科学的严谨性和透明度当然很重要，但一个相关的问题是，竞争的加剧和对新发现的关注阻碍了科学过程的累积程度。我们已决定加入越来越多的期刊，这些期刊正在采用新的审阅和出版方法来解决这些问题。除了我们的标准研究文章外，我们还高兴地宣布3种新的文章类别：复制，注册报告和无效结果。加入心理学和相关领域的其他期刊以提供这些出版物类型时，我们希望在我们的科学中提高方法学上的严格标准。这将确保我们的发现基于可靠的证据，并为将来的进展提供持久的基础。（PsycINFO数据库记录
