RegCheck: A tool for structured comparisons between study registrations and papers

Across the social and medical sciences, researchers recognize that specifying planned research activities (i.e., 'registration') prior to the commencement of research has benefits for both the transparency and rigour of science. Despite this, evidence suggests that study registrations frequently go unexamined, minimizing their effectiveness. In a way this is no surprise: manually checking registrations against papers is labour- and time-intensive, requiring careful reading across formats and expertise across domains. The advent of AI unlocks new possibilities in facilitating this activity. We present RegCheck, a modular LLM-assisted tool designed to help researchers, reviewers, and editors from across scientific disciplines compare study registrations with their corresponding papers. Importantly, RegCheck keeps human expertise and judgement in the loop by (i) ensuring that users are the ones who determine which features should be compared, and (ii) presenting the most relevant text associated with each feature to the user, facilitating (rather than replacing) human discrepancy judgements. RegCheck also generates shareable reports with unique RegCheck IDs, enabling them to be easily shared and verified by other users. RegCheck is designed to be adaptable across scientific domains, as well as registration and publication formats. In this paper we provide an overview of the motivation, workflow, and design principles of RegCheck, and we discuss its potential as an extensible infrastructure for reproducible science with an example use case.

Reviewing post-publication peer review

Post-publication peer review (PPPR) is transforming how the life sciences community evaluates published manuscripts and data. Unsurprisingly, however, PPPR is experiencing growing pains, and some elements of the process distinct from standard pre-publication review remain controversial. I discuss the rapid evolution of PPPR, its impact, and the challenges associated with it.

Reflection — Modal Collective

Reflection is a native GTK note taking app with local-first collaboration built on p2panda. It’s part of a broader initiative to make local-first sync a standard feature of the GNOME developer platform, and allow any app developer to easily add local-first sync to their app. You can learn more about the project from these blogposts: Apr 2026 – The Road to a Local-First App Ecosystem Apr 2026 – Reflection Spring 2026 Update Dec 2025 – Reflection Winter 2025 Update Aug 2025 – GUADEC 2025 Jun 2025 – Aardvark Summer 2025 Update Dec 2024 – Introducing Project Aardvark Nov 2023 – GNOME+p2panda Workshop Sep 2023 – GNOME 45 Hackfest Current Status Reflection is available as a preview release. We’re waiting for p2panda 1.0 before doing a stable release to avoid potentially difficult data migrations.
