DESCRIPTION:Pilot studies\, typically conducted to refine methods and proce
 dures ahead of planned data collection\, are common in psychological resea
 rch\, but little guidance exists on how to report such studies in publicat
 ions. Therefore\, we designed a study that aims to examine whether 1) pilo
 t studies are reported in published psychology literature and 2) how they 
 are reported when mentioned. To answer these questions\, we conduct a retr
 ospective\, observational assessment of recent articles in psychology jour
 nals. In the current presentation\, we will present and discuss the study 
 methodology and preliminary findings from two pilot studies where we sampl
 ed and coded over 300 articles published in 2022 and 2023. We report the m
 ain descriptive findings (e.g.\, proportion of pilots mentioned and relate
 d details such as pilot sample size\, purpose\, or results) alongside qual
 itative observations on how pilot studies were reported.

DESCRIPTION:Piloting—the preliminary testing of a study before full data 
 collection—is integral to psychological research\, yet these practices a
 re rarely discussed and lack concrete guidance. Research methods textbooks
  seldom cover piloting\, and when they do\, it is often reduced to a brief
  footnote. Consequently\, current techniques are tied to individual traini
 ng and perceived field norms.\n\nPiloting varies considerably within and a
 cross workflows (Pilot Reporting Task Force\, 2024): researchers use diffe
 rent approaches\, may understand "piloting" differently\, and some are una
 ware that others pre-test their methods at all. This variability is not pr
 oblematic in itself\; rather\, because so little attention is paid to thes
 e methods\, we cannot fully learn from or develop them.\n\nWe therefore pr
 opose creating a living\, open-access handbook to make piloting more visib
 le\, learnable\, improvable\, and valuable across psychological subfields.
  In this unconference\, we aim to brainstorm how such a resource could be 
 developed.
