Membership
Advancing science by illuminating the complete research landscape — including null and negative findings.
International Journal of Negative Results
Join a community dedicated to publishing valuable research that traditional journals overlook — null hypotheses, unexpected outcomes, and reproducibility studies that advance scientific rigor.
Membership provides structured APC support, editorial guidance, and recognition for researchers committed to transparent, complete science.
The International Journal of Negative Results champions research integrity by publishing null, negative, and inconclusive findings that are essential for scientific progress but often remain unpublished. Publication bias distorts the research record — our journal helps restore balance by giving a platform to complete scientific discourse.
Membership transforms article processing charges into a predictable annual investment, supporting researchers, departments, and institutions committed to transparent science. Funds directly support editorial operations, peer review coordination, and open access distribution for reproducibility research.
The Hidden Value: Studies estimate that over 50% of research producing null or negative results never gets published. This publication bias wastes resources through duplicated experiments and skews meta-analyses. IJNR membership supports the infrastructure needed to publish complete research outcomes.

We emphasize methodological transparency, adequate statistical power documentation, pre-registration when applicable, and clear interpretation of null findings. Membership supports authors in meeting these standards through editorial guidance and compliance checklists.
