Pre-analysis plans (PAPs) have been criticized for the time they take to prepare, the obstacles they create for learning from one’s data, and for the lack of clarity about how to best take advantage of the policing they make possible. An additional critique is that PAPs generate dull, lab report-style papers that are disfavored by reviewers and journal editors, and hence hampered in the publication process. Fifty-one percent of researchers in a recent survey said they thought the existence of a PAP made it at least somewhat more difficult to write a theoretically interesting paper. “Editors want a good story,” one PAP user lamented, “and the PAP nearly never delivers a good read—it only delivers a boring, mechanical read with no surprises or new insights.” Another researcher suggested that “papers without a strong coherent narrative are customarily rejected by journals, and a PAP nearly never produces a strong narrative.” Another echoed this point, noting that “I almost always deviate from the PAP in order to make a paper that makes sense.”
