If you did not reach a convincing conclusion in your scientific research, what do you do then?
This embarrassing situation can be suffered by any researcher.
Many thanks to Dr. Al:
He suggest a (6) points to change the failure to successful work. they are just a cycles with a cycle within a cycle,, it is a mater of where and when one breaks themselves or the cycle in which they are trapped.
Based on my experience, I would say that you please have a better look on your data and describe your results first. Then, think well in what way you can convince the readers of scientific community. Read related literature's and provide reasons to your team or supervisors why can't come into a conclusion. For example, there may be one reason your research idea could be novel which no one tried before or published anything yet. In that case you can link what has been done so far and write what you achieved and then write what hinders (may be tools, software or advancement of techniques or protocol) you to achieve more to do in your research area. Hope this may helps.
Many thanks to: (++Gobalakrishnan Subashchandrabose , +Cuneyt Akar , +Prof. Gheita ).
I think there is More solutions
Regarding you question:
" If you did not reach a convincing conclusion in your scientific research, what do you do then? "
1) Research by it's definition will lead to initial failure.
2) Perseverance is a function of time.
3) Cycles are a function of time.
4) One must define where they are emotionally and logically in 1 through 3,
5) Once 4 has been defined and quantified theoretically, then
6) Apply the solution to the real problem
It is a cycle with a cycle within a cycle,, it is a mater of where and when one breaks themselves or the cycle in which they are trapped.
Respectfully, Al Fermelia

Am in line with Al Fermelia
Conclusions of scientific research have to be matched with real-world problem-solving; sometimes, your mentioned suffering Nazar Alqahwachi derives more from an 'failed'' intellectual beauty contest and not from a lack of problem-solving capacity. Personally, I always find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It
very helpful.
In research, you publish your observation, which may or may not be conclusive. If you do not reach a convincing conclusion in your scientific research, you may need to keep researching/investigating until you arrive at at least satisfactory conclusion.
Proper review of the literature and methodology would at times help avoid this scenario. However, this scenario would at times occur even with the right methodology and hypothesis testing. An explanation to this should be sought. If this fails too, the most feasible option is further research for gaps in research are never conclusively addressed.
May I argue that a research process must be accompanied with reliable internal validy and external validity. As a result one is able to repeat the research process to get improved results.There are many parameters that can be controlled and changed during a research process. In this way cumulative knowledge can become validated both by internal and external parties. I found two studies to back up my line of arguments. Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
I would clearly address that as a limitation and take it as an opportunity/area of improvement in my next research question and project.
I would like to inform to* All Friends" that I have not fallen into such a problem, because when I have one of the variables that explain a particular phenomenon, I have benefited from research's that has studied this phenomenon, so I gather as many variables as possible according to its usual conditions, this large amount of independent variables is an alternative opportunity.
I thank all of the distinguished professors& scientific s : ( Al, Stephen I. Ternyik , Chinaza Godswill Awuchi , Karen A. Darbinyan , Joshua Ombaka , Joshua Ombaka , Bulcsu Szekely ) are very respectable answers and really very important application, I think that there are other answers depending on the type of problem and the scientific specialization and I think there are more explanations for answering the big question I asked.
Many thanks for the respectable answer, But there is moor.
Thank you very much for the thesis Dr. Ali mohamed rashed , very important information.
اسرار عبدالزهرة thank you for your reply, would you please clarify your idea.
Look at your hypotheses, your data collected and variables and see if you missed something vital. If at all possible collect more data and run the statistical tests again to see if anything else that was not significant as an independent variable now pops out. Include additional variables to see if the R-square value has improved.
Many thanks to ( Srini Vasan and Chinaza Godswill Awuchi ). Good advice's.
في هذه الحالة اعد النظر في العينة التي اخترتها و النموذج الذي استخدمته في الدراسة
Not getting to a conclusion is the outcome that needs to be listed in the research
