Negative Results Journal

Hi all,

I don’t know how many of us know such a journal exists (i know only few minutes earlier).

Its called "Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine" with an imaginary impact factor of 1.64. See the link, http://www.jnrbm.com/

In industry i wonder how many 'dead end' results, which might have been of interest to academics and potentially significant, just get buried in notebooks and forgotten forever. Also like simple quenching process, avoiding a column, increase in yields, results were only few substrates work for unknown reason etc…. are get unnoticed and doesn’t get scientific recoginition.

I have already said in my blog few years back that my interest to create “Imaginary Journal of Organic Chemistry” i-JOC. (Unlike Nature Protocols) and several others have similar interest. Just want kill the perception that negative results in “Organic Chemistry” are useless. Its kind of recognition for the time they have spent to find something doesn’t work (in otherwords: unpublishable). All this could be a reality soon.

If any other journal of this kind exists, I will be curious to know.

Thanks for the time,
Ahamed Muneer Ahamed.
