There exist strong theoretical and methodological ties between the disciplines of psychology and management. Yet almost none of the "top" journals in the field of management/ organizational behavior accept registered reports, despite many espousing a commitment to open science and reforms aligned with the credibility revolution. In this lightning talk I will provide information on the uptake of registered reports in the field of management, detail ongoing advocacy efforts for greater adoption (and invite others in attendance to join), and discuss personal experiences related to misperceptions of and objections to registered reports in the field of management/organizational behavior.
It is increasingly common for editors to ask for high-powered, direct replications of studies when papers are invited for revision. However, norms regarding what to do when these replications fail do not exist, either for authors attempting to reframe their findings, or reviewers/editors reevaluating the work. A lack of clear expectations and norms risks not only confusion and consternation, but possibly reinforcing perverse publication incentives where only “statistically significant” results are valued rather than strong and valid tests of theoretical questions. This Unconference will begin with the organizer and participants discussing their experiences with failed replications during peer review. The group will then discuss the “ideal” way these are handled, from the perspective of both authors and reviewers/editors. Given interest, the group will then potentially organize to produce a short methodological manuscript that addresses these questions and provides guidance for editors and authors confronting these issues.
Keynotes: Alexandra Sarafoglou, Marton Kovacs, Jeffrey Lees, Lisa Spitzer, and Agata Bochynska.

This year, we are departing from tradition at SIPS. Rather than inviting individual keynote speakers to open and close the conference, we will host two open roundtable discussions.
For the final day, we would like to host a second roundtable—this time highlighting the rising stars of open science. We would love to hear their personal stories and perspectives, and at one point, we plan to open the conversation to all SIPS attendees. We are confident that this discussion will provide fresh ideas and inspiration that will carry into the SIPS sessions.
