International Journal of Negative Results

Aims and Scope

International Journal of Negative Results is a multidisciplinary Open Access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing non-confirmatory, unexpected, controversial, negative, null, or inconclusive findings across all scientific disciplines.

Traditional scientific publishing often favors positive results, creating publication bias that overlooks valuable findings from studies that do not confirm expected hypotheses. IJNR challenges this bias by providing a platform where scientists can share negative results, replication studies, and provocative research that contribute to the advancement of science.

Scope & Focus: IJNR welcomes submissions from a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to:

• Biomedical & Life Sciences: Unexpected clinical and laboratory findings.
• Chemistry & Engineering: Failed synthesis, non-reactive compounds, and unexpected mechanisms.
• Earth & Environmental Sciences: Non-reproducible field studies and climate science anomalies.
• Computational & Data Sciences: Algorithmic inefficiencies, irreproducible models, and negative AI findings.
• Social Sciences & Psychology: Non-significant behavioral studies and unverified social theories.

Redefining Scientific Progress :

Negative results are not failures; they are essential steps in the scientific process. By publishing well-documented studies that challenge existing assumptions, IJNR promotes a culture of transparency, knowledge-sharing, and scientific integrity.
