Researchers are willing to trade their results for journal prestige: results from a discrete choice experiment [Version 1]

This protocol aims to address two questions: (1) What do we know about the science underlying impactful legal decisions? (2) How can we assess this evidence efficiently and accurately, such that it is usable for courts? The protocol has been reviewed by three reviewers (reviewer 2 in fact represents a team of three individuals). The reviewers mention various strengths of the protocol. Reviewer 1 emphasises the importance and timeliness of the research questions and praises the interdisciplinary nature of the research team. Reviewer 3 considers the protocol to be thoughtful and detailed, and reviewer 2 notes that the protocol presages an important effort. The reviewers do not see any major shortcomings in the protocol, but they do highlight opportunities to strengthen the protocol, such as considering studies published in languages other than English and adding more detail on how team disagreements will be resolved.
