#RegCheck
Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding.

RegCheck was built to help make this process easier.

Today, we launch RegCheck V2.

Today we launch the first stable release of RegCheck: v1.0.0.

RegCheck makes it easier and quicker to compare study registrations to published papers for consistency - something we know is important in principle, but rarely done in practice.

A 🧵 on what's new:

This is why we (@jamiecummins.bsky.social @bethclarke.bsky.social and I) have developed RegCheck, a tool that automatically checks for potential deviations. regcheck.app

WE ARE HIRING!

Are you interested in LLMs, metascience, and their intersection?

We’re hiring a full time postdoc on a three-year contract to help us develop, evaluate, and extend RegCheck (regcheck.app), our app for automatically comparing research papers with their preregistrations.

Introducing RegCheck: a tool which uses Large Language Models to automatically compare preregistered protocols with their corresponding published papers and highlights deviations.

Happy to share that (from August 1st) I'll be spending the next 6 months working at the University of Oxford as a visiting researcher!

I'll be working with @ndevito1.bsky.social and @bengoldacre.bsky.social on developing and extending features of RegCheck (regcheck.app).

Finally, I fulfill something long-promised: a full, open-source release of the entire RegCheck codebase.

This comes with instructions on how to run RegCheck locally, both as a local implementation of the GUI, and as a standalone CLI application. Find the code here:

Services like RegCheck are extremely promising for moving norms forward from doing open science practices to doing open science practices well.

If you’re interested in:
- using RegCheck,
- stress-testing it,
- identifying bugs,
- or formally evaluating its performance,

I’m very happy to talk.

Leading polisci journal clarifies that it is allowed to deviate from pre-analysis plans but deviations must be transparently disclosed. Good.

P.S. This LLM-based service for tracking deviations from PAP is awesome: regcheck.app

I’m a big fan of RegCheck by @jamiecummins.bsky.social. I found some deviations in a paper the other day using it

I hope journals start integrating it. I also recall our thread about registered reports having better defense against this

Another great post showing the flexibility and usefulness of the new Papercheck tool.

Interestingly, RegCheck handles the issue Daniel flags below correctly (i.e., it does not make claims about the non-preregistered cohort B; only cohort A):

RegCheck is one of our group's most exciting projects IMO, and I'm particularly happy to see the codebase now be open scourced!

Yes you’re right! Thanks for the shout out. RegCheck (regcheck.app) currently compares manuscripts with preregistrations, and we’re in the process of building out a module that compares code with in-paper analysis descriptions!

This release was long overdue, and it represents the next stage of a more mature part of the RegCheck lifecycle, in terms of both tech and research.

In 2026, you can expect publication of projects using RegCheck across psychology, clinical medicine, and economics.

I have also added integration with the ClinicalTrials.gov API.

You can now provide a ClinicalTrials.gov identifier and RegCheck will automatically retrieve the registration.
