Abstract
We recently published our first Registered Report entitled ‘Value-free random exploration is linked to impulsivity’. We believe the format offers many benefits to strengthen hypothesis-driven research and are keen to share our experience with our readers as we open up the format to all fields of research. We interviewed the authors of the manuscript (<i>Magda Dubois</i> and <i>Tobias Hauser</i>) and one of the reviewers (<i>Trevor Robbins</i>) about their experience of the review process. We are editorially committed to take their comments on board to further improve our guidance and to optimally support our future authors.
