Journal of Articles in Support of the Null Hypothesis

It exists!

Beyond the fact that I think this is the best journal name I have ever heard of, I do agree however with the other points of Andrew Gelman . But it would be fun to have something published in there. I might just have something for them, depending on the number of rejections in journals which do not support the null hypothesis :-).

PS. The comments to Gelman’s post above mention also other very interesting journals. My favourites: Journal of Interesting Negative Results and Rejecta Mathematica.

  1. Obviously this is still speculation, but why wouldnt you publish if you receive something, they themselves say there is no refereeing process. I guess you should contact one of the editor to clarify the issue :-).<BR/><BR/>Heres at least one reason why your reasoning does not work: you just dont write papers that cannot be published within Science (this is not the blogosphere, my friend…);

  2. Well, considering that the copyright notice on the web-site is dated 2007, that allows for quite some time to have had someone send them some materials.<BR/><BR/>As for why to bother publishing in "underground" journals. I see two reasons:<BR/><BR/>(1) Since you already made the initial effort of writing an article (which was supposedly rejected by other "brand-name" journals), why not publish it

  3. I think you are right, they do not appear to have any number published yet. I have no clue, to be honest I just liked the name as well, but did not bother to actually look for articles… I guess nobody submitted anything. <BR/>The thing is more general (for instance, also referring to the other journals mentioned here), obviously&gt; these journals are not &quot;recognized&quot;, so why would

  4. I just spent three minutes on the Rejecta Mathematica (like the name) trying to figure out what kind of articles they publish. Couldn’t find any. Guess they rejected all of them :-).<BR/><BR/>Or, wait a sec, there’s the other possibility: everything ever submitted to a peer-reviewed math journal is accepted and published. Thus leaving nothing as a candidate for the Rejecta Mathematica.<BR/><BR/>
