Our vision is establishing the publication of null-results as an important cornerstone for the advancement of knowledge and scientific understanding in all disciplines thus con- tributing to overcome biases and fraud in research.<\/p>\n
We want to achieve this goal by making \u201cnegative\u201d and \u201cnull\u201d-results from all fields of science available to the scientific community. This means that we publish scientific articles about projects where a research hypothesis is neither confirmed nor rejected, where a standard opinion in science can not be reproduced or where the desired outcome was not achieved. Most research projects produce ambiguous results, in our opinion this should be visible in publication media. The articles are peer reviewed and the decision on whether to publish a paper will be made solely by independent referees.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, we want to foster interdisciplinary thinking by publishing short essays about open questions in science that have not been solved yet but that are of importance to the scientific community. We believe that for the advancement of science asking the right questions is more important than finding answers. The open questions are editorial board reviewed, any scientific question that does not contain false facts will be published.<\/p>\n
Besides publishing articles and open questions, we want to create a platform for reflecting on the day-to-day business in science from a meta-perspective: Is the current scientific practice optimal for the gain of knowledge? How could we overcome prejudices that hinder objective judgement in research? What is the philosophical foundation of science? These are questions every scientist should ask him- or herself, we want to provide the facilities to do so. Various formats (lectures, discussions, essays in the Journal, contributions to other journals etc.) are utilized to promote such deliberations.<\/p>\n
JUnQ is a new platform to gather ‘null’-result research. It is a medium to communicate projects, which just didn\u2019t work, ambiguous data without exaggeration and unfinished investigations, which raise more questions than they answer.<\/p>\n
