In registered reports, researchers submit a design for review; the journal decides whether to publish before results are available. How and when does the registered report approach improve on pre-registration and standard post-implementation peer review? And how should researchers make use of this new way to publish research? We consider these questions in light of a Bayesian learning model that incorporates researcher incentives.

Please join us to discuss Professor Faisal Devji's latest publication, _Waning Crescent: The Rise and Fall of Global Islam_ (Yale University Press, 2025).
