Does it make sense to preregister simulation studies?
This question has sparked a lot of debate.
- We work through the why, when, and how
- We discuss different phases of methodological research to clarify where preregistration might (or might not) add value

Excited to announce the publication of our new paper "Handling Missingness, Failures, and Non-Convergence in Simulation Studies: A Review of Current Practices and Recommendations" in the American Statistician. In the paper, we discuss the common issue of missingness in simulation studies and its potential impact on results. We also offer recommendations on how to approach the issue. Our most crucial recommendation is that researchers should always quantify and report the extent of missingness.
