I am not aware of such a Journal, but completely agree there should be a journal like this. Actually it would be an invaluable resource to many people. I think the scope of such a journal can expand outside of purely synthesis also.

Yes there is, if you're meaning the negative results. This kind of journals publishes the results of experiments that failed to produce the expected discoveries. The concept of a "negative result" is sometimes difficult for a non-scientist to grasp. On the simplest level, a negative result is what happens when the experiment fails.

Here for exemple the "Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results", It is a peer reviewed journal developed to publish original, innovative and novel research articles resulting in negative results. This peer-reviewed scientific journal publishes theoretical and empirical papers that reports the negative findings and research failures in pharmaceutical field. Submissions should have a negative focus, which means the output of research yielded in negative results are being given more preference. All theoretical and methodological perspectives are welcomed.

For negative results in chemistry, you can look at this :

Thanks a lot!

You can also take a look at F1000 Research (for life sciences). Currently they encourage people to publish their 'negative results' in life sciences.

The peer review is after publication, so it allows quick publication of results, maybe how the future of publishing should be?

You laid a stone on a very nice POINT of -ve results. Very interesting.

I am not aware of such a Journals, etc, but completely agreed there should be a journal/ data source like this. This will minimize the time, in case of chemicals, definitely avoid the pollution, etc.

There are set of journals that are edited by this guy named David Alcantara, a Ph.D in Chemistry at Harvard. you better checkout following link

there is separate journal for Physics, chemistry, biology and nanotech.

Thanks for sharing this idea. I was thinking about it today.

It should help others from our failures.
