The Science of Behavior Change project represents a major advance in the way we approach the study of behavior and behavior change; the protocols in this special issue reflect the innovative approach to intervention development. Digital technology is transforming the way we conduct science and can greatly assist with developing protocols, reporting studies, and evidence synthesis. The journal Addiction has developed an online Paper Authoring Tool (PAT) for reporting full-scale randomized controlled trials that could also be used for reporting protocols and early phase trials. PAT aims to help authors ensure that they include all the required information and present it in a way that is clear and consistent in terms of language and phrasing. It also generates a computer-readable record that should greatly facilitate automation of evidence synthesis. PAT is intended to represent the first step in creation of a supportive ecosystem for the conduct of science, linking grant applications, study protocols, study reports, measures, reviews and study data in a coordinated online knowledge base.

在线论文撰写工具（PAT），用于改善行为科学试验的报告和证据综合。

“行为改变科学”项目代表了我们进行行为和行为改变研究的主要方式。本期特刊中的协议反映了干预措施开发的创新方法。数字技术正在改变我们进行科学的方式，并可以极大地帮助开发协议，报告研究和证据综合。《成瘾》杂志开发了一种在线论文撰写工具（PAT），用于报告全面的随机对照试验，也可用于报告方案和早期试验。PAT旨在帮助作者确保他们包括所有必需的信息，并以清晰，一致的语言和措辞方式呈现这些信息。它还会生成计算机可读记录，该记录应大大促进证据合成的自动化。PAT旨在代表创建支持科学行为的生态系统的第一步，在协调的在线知识库中将拨款申请，研究协议，研究报告，措施，评论和研究数据联系起来。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
