    “Pre-registration” is an increasingly common tactic that scientists use to reduce the amount of freedom they have. (“Pre-registration: When you want less freedom.” Not going to win an election campaign, is it?) Specifically, when scientists pre-register a hypothesis, it means that before the study begins they specify what effects they will look for when they do their data analysis later on. In other words, they can’t just go plunging through their data looking for any old positive correlation and claiming to have predicted it, because they told their peers ahead of time what they would look for.
