Registered reports are a relatively new type of journal article format in which the decision to publish an article is based on sound conceptualization, methods, and planned analyses rather than the specific nature of the results. Registered reports are becoming increasingly instituted in journals across the sciences but mostly in experimental contexts. Relatively few of these journals pertain directly to developmental research with adolescents, emerging adults, and adults, which tend to use more complex methods, or at least methods that involve a greater degree of flexibility. This article describes lessons learned through editing a special issue focused on registered reports based on analyses of a single existing data set, the Emerging Adulthood Measured and Multiple Institutions 2 project. These observations should be helpful for researchers interested in preparing registered report submissions using developmental and secondary data.

具有发展和次要数据的注册报告：简要观察和特刊简介

注册报告是一种相对较新的期刊文章格式，其中发布文章的决定基于合理的概念，方法和计划的分析，而不是结果的特定性质。在整个科学领域的期刊中，越来越多地使用注册报告，但是大多数情况下是在实验环境中进行的。相对而言，这些期刊中很少有直接涉及青少年，新兴成年人和成年人的发展研究的，它们倾向于使用更复杂的方法，或者至少使用涉及更大程度灵活性的方法。本文介绍了通过编辑一个专门针对注册报告的特刊（基于对单个现有数据集的分析，新兴成人衡量和多个机构2项目）而获得的经验教训。
