| 6 | +This repository provides the Quarto template extension for preregistering ecological modelling studies[^readme-1]. The template has been developped for use within an *Adaptive Preregistration* approach[^readme-2], however can be used with standard approaches to preregistration. For non-trivial modelling studies, especially where model parameter and structure is in any way data-contingent, we recommend following the Adaptive Preregistration procedure, which is set out at <https://egouldo.github.io/EcoConsPreReg/>[^readme-3]. |
