Unknown and unloved?

Personally, I haven't yet preregistered a study. Part of this is, of course, my own fault. 

But I also think that the practice of preregistering is not yet that well-known to early career scientists. In my experience, it doesn't really come up often during PhD training, and even if it does, it tends to take the backseat to what seem - at the time - more urgent concerns.

Most students are 'raised' in the standard academic workflow of design - experiment - write - publish. Preregistering shuffles this around a bit, and I think that makes it seem (keyword: seem) like more work. 

Finally, it is not exactly incentivized a lot, even though API's might change that.
