Anne Scheel is a final-year PhD student at Eindhoven University of Technology, where she works on the project ‘Increasing the reliability and efficiency of psychological science’ (PI: Daniël Lakens). She studied psychology at the University of Heidelberg and psychological research methods at the University of Glasgow, and worked in a developmental psychology lab at LMU Munich for two years. Her background is in infant research, but since she first learned about the replication crisis in psychology, she devoted more and more time to follow the discussions around ways to make research more transparent and reproducible. Eventually this led her to switch tracks and turn to meta-science as her main research focus. In her current research she investigates the influence of Registered Reports on research behaviour and on the published literature and has a special interest in the role of hypothesis testing for knowledge gain in psychology.
