I had the same first reaction, but perhaps if your paper is already a published preprint, you may use it to submit it elsewhere?

“When there’s so much misinformation around and distrust about science, it’s more important than ever that we are transparent about how exactly science goes on” - RoRI's @scurry.bsky.social calls on the research sector to end the “publication bias” against negative results: tinyurl.com/ux5xtm4d

Six journal rejections and a major rethink: why I’m happy to admit to my research failures, and you should too Outlining the trial-and-error processes that are involved in every research project could help others to become more efficient and paint a more honest picture of life as a researcher.

Very honest and very good World View from Severine Toussaert
www.nature.com/articles/d41..., one that is very much in tune with our recent proposals for a framework to incentivise publication of negative or null results: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Grateful to @resprofnews.bsky.social for doing a write-up of our call for action to incentivise the publication of negative results. Now looking for world-leading funders and institutions to show some leadership on this issue…

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Some scientists aren’t waiting for journals to catch up. They’re showing us what’s next.

The Beyond the Journal awards honor those breaking the mold in how science is shared.

Before treatment patients must be in good health, have no antibodies to AAV (based on a recent test), vaccinations must be up to date. Especially when patients are non ambulant, cardiorespiratory function needs to be taken into account.

For every Nobel that goes to a criminally under-recognized woman scientist (Brunkow, Karikó), or fails to go (Candy Lee), a week of mourning and reform for an academic system wherein you can do Nobel-prize-worthy-work and still end up without a conceivable path to being a professor.
