pre-registration

Advance sign-up process

Pre-registration is signing up for something before the official registration period opens or before general enrollment begins.

Universities offer pre-registration so returning students can secure spots in courses before new students arrive.

In research, pre-registration means publicly documenting your study design and hypotheses before collecting data, preventing researchers from adjusting their methods to fit results: The journal requires pre-registration of clinical trials.
