journal of interesting negative results

Going through my emails, I cam across this announcement:

In our scientific explorations, sooner or later we try out ideas
which, sometimes for quite deep reasons, fail at the experimental
stage. There is a palpable bias towards positive results at journals,
conferences, workshop and other outlets for reporting scientific
work. Negative results, however, can be just as interesting. We often
learn more from failures than from successes.

We are starting JINR, a new on-line Journal of Interesting Negative
Results in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. We hope
that it will become a forum for research ideas which appear good but,
upon rigorous examination, can be shown not to lead to good results.
It may also become a place to publish counter-examples to accepted
but sometimes unproven truths.

Please visit the JINR home at

I love the title.. come on all of you failures out there with negtive results.. you can be published now ;-)

Mai
