Establish a standardized and transparent reporting framework for researchers who deviate from their preregistered research protocols in psychological science.
Synthesized author experiences, existing unpublished workflow templates, and peer and reviewer feedback.
Conducted a survey of psychology-journal editors (N=34) to assess editorial expectations and reporting needs regarding preregistration changes.
Identified that protocol deviations occur frequently during study execution but remain largely unaddressed or inconsistently disclosed across psychological research.
Constructed a structured template offering step-by-step guidance for tracking, classifying, and reporting procedural deviations transparently.
Proposed structural editorial policies for academic journals to formally standardize the documentation and review of protocol modifications.
