O pré-registro de projetos científicos é uma prática relativamente comum nas ciências biomédicas e em estudos de meta-análise. Consiste no registro prévio do projeto de pesquisa, com as perguntas, hipóteses e métodos detalhados, de forma a evitar práticas questionáveis de pesquisa (Questionable Research Practices).

O pré-registro tem sido bastante debatido e pode se tornar uma tendência forte na ecologia.
