It is common to publish researches that supports by a positive results, but can you rely on the dissemination of negative results also ? I am happy to see your opinions dears
Research may be on any topics that may result positive or negative or sometimes no outcome. Negative results are also the part of a research.
The researcher should expect to fail several times before finding success. As an inventor, Thomas Edison made 10,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 10,000 times?" he famously answered, "I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work." Of course, Edison eventually succeeded and changed history".
Thus, "negative results in research" will give to you good understanding about you discovered incorrect ways in order to resolve your problem correctly which is again an outcome of research.
A research is a research regardless of the positivity or negativity of the end result.
Negative results will prevent future researchers to stop considering that part while conducting an experiment. How can you succeed without failing repeatedly ? We need to sort out several negative search results to finally get the desired end result.
It's very normal to have negative search results and this is part of your search if you have hypotheses that match these results
yes it is incredibly believable ;and the results achieved enrich knewledg.
even negative results
I think , yes they are.
Negative results will notify the other researchers , whose working on the same procedures, and may they will avoid their methodology to get another results.
This is one of benefits of negative results of searches.
I think yes. Although the results are negative it is still a research.
I think yes... because researcher is work but without results positive. ....
Negative results could be addressed as either some problems in the data or processing stage. However, if all the stages are okay, there should be reasonable explanation that can not be caught in the research. I think such result also a finding in research. Regards
If we exclude technical errors , negative results can be taken in consideration.
Of course, it is important to have a logic or theoretical basis behind.
It is research as long as you obtained the results without bias. Its a result after all and needs to be used as such. Nothing wrong.
Absolutely, it is, since its lead other researchers to avoid the same way of research.
Thanks
Yes, it help to find out mistakes, after improvement we are marching towards positive results, but it demands lot of patience, hard work, digestion of failure,
Sure! That defines gaps in research, new research areas to explore, and questions to be answered in furute studies!
Thanks to all of you dears for opanains and contripution... with my best regards.
Negative results are useful because it can clue readers as to what direction they ought not to go in. For example in the paper Article Thermal Degradation of Polyisobutylene- Effect of Sample Siz...
negative results were obtained first and then the reviewer asked to extend the scope of the investigation which was done and a paper was published as cited.
