In the last decade or so, it is clear that the discipline of psychology has made huge advances in how psychological science is conducted (Chambers & Tzavella, Citation2022; Munafò et al., Citation2017; O’Connor, Citation2020, Citation2021). The development of new tools, approaches and publication formats have helped to reduce use of questionable research practices that will ultimately improve the robustness of our evidence base. We hope that the relaunch of Cogent Psychology can play a role in helping to further improve psychological science and that you want to contribute to this and will consider submitting some of your work to us in the near future.
