The irony: the design choice meant to fix the problem (removing vorticity) actually makes the observer-dependence worse. Alcubierre puts all its violations in plain sight. Rodal hides them. The metric that looks better from one perspective looks worse from all perspectives combined.

Full computational study with eigenvector classification, PINN optimization, and observer-robust verification coming to arXiv.

Today’s Nature post about journal publication bias and the progress towards adopting #RegisteredReports, aiming to publish more #negativeresults

So you got a null result. Will anyone publish it?

Researchers have tried a bunch of strategies to get more negative results into the literature. Nature asks whether they are working.

Illuminating ‘the ugly side of science’: fresh incentives for reporting negative results

New data repositories and alternative journals and workshops offer routes for sharing negative results — which could help to solve the reproducibility crisis and give machine learning a boost.

Quality should never be compromised, for any reason, as it can lead to devastating results. #compromise #quality #negativeresults

Nature introduces Registered Reports as an article type for cognitive neuroscience and the behavioural and social sciences. This approach assesses the research question and methods over the results, to help tackle the publication bias against negative results.

I love the idea of an @ASAPbio prize for posting a #preprint reporting #NegativeResults. We need initiatives to get the conversation going https://asapbio.org/competition2022 #ResearchIntegrity
ASAPbio competition: Make your negative result a preprint winner - ASAPbio

Do you have data buried in your lab notebooks that did not prove your hypothesis but would be useful to your scientific field? Or perhaps inconclusive results due to technological limitations which would be relevant for others to avoid duplicating efforts?  Preprints allow sharing of all research works in a flexible format; this includes negative…
