Summary of the key points discussed on each open research practice topic, addressing common concerns faced by researchers.

Preregistration	Data management and sharing	Preprints
Preregistered studies are not ‘locked in’ to a particular study design. Protocol deviations are allowed as long as they are clearly explained and choices are justified.	Many journals now require data to be shared openly at the time of publication.	Many journals accept manuscripts which have been shared as a preprint – but check journal policies to be sure.
Preregistrations can be embargoed.	Keeping a well-managed data management plan will make it easier to keep track of and analyse experimental data.	The reporting quality of preprints is much the same as peer-reviewed articles (Carneiro et al. 2020).
