BioFlukes, a publisher based in Banglore, India have launched a new journal called 'Journal of Errology' and are accepting articles which explain failed hypotheses. Its a bold step though and i am sure they will have tons of articles being submitted for review. The reviewers and editors are going to be really busy. So friends, the next time your boss or PI asks you to work on a crazy hypothesis, don't panic. The hypothesis works or not, you will have a publication either way. That said, now anyone can come up with a hypothesis...........I personally feel the publishers are crazy. But all those out there, go back to your log notes and write up an article on the failed hypothesis.
