In a registered report, "authors create a study proposal that includes theoretical and empirical background, research questions/hypotheses, and pilot data (if available). Upon submission, this proposal will then be reviewed prior to data collection, and if accepted, the paper resulting from this peer-reviewed procedure will be published, regardless of the study outcomes". The journal also allows for streamlined review, a process in which a paper that was previously rejected elsewhere can be sent in along with the original decision letter and the reviews. These documents can then be used as additional information by the editors at the EJP.
