Editor-in-chief Sarahanne Field aims to publish studies revealing unexpected negative outcomes, combating publication bias towards positive results in science.
The 'file-drawer problem' leads to publication bias, with most researchers accumulating unpublished negative results over the years.
There has been a decrease in publishing negative results over the past 30 years, with a significant increase in positive papers, indicating an issue in scientific publication practices.
Despite the willingness of researchers to publish negative results, limited opportunities and fear of rejection hinder the dissemination of these findings in the scientific community.
