Piloting, the pre-testing of a method ahead of planned data collection, plays a vital role in psychological research. Yet, information about the what, how, and why of pilot studies is rarely included in final publications.
To help motivate a culture where reporting piloting studies is normative and easy, our working group has developed templates for reporting pilot studies. This hackathon aims to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds and fields to test and refine these templates to ensure they are both useful and usable before promoting widespread use.
The session will begin with a short overview of the template development process. Participants will then engage in ‘user testing’ and apply the templates to their research. We will end with group discussion and feedback on suggested adaptations. Those interested in participating further will also be welcome to join the working group.
