看了颜宁发的笑话 “我发了10篇Science” (http://www.sciencenet.cn/m/user_content.aspx?id=279037) 提到 "Journal of Failed Protein Crystallization”的愚人节笑话,因为我太太也是搞结构生物学的,不禁会心一笑。忽然想到前几天还收到一封email广告,其实正要创刊这样一个刊物,不知道是不是真的,贴出来供大家参考。我收到的邀请是物理学的,不过他们也有生物、化学和Nano 的。下面是原信: Dear Scientists, On behalf of the Editorial Board, I would like to invite you and your colleagues to submit work to the first issue of /The All Results Journals:Phys/, the journal for secondary (negative) results in Physics. /The All Results Journals:Phys / focus on *recovering and publishing negative results, *high value knowledge in Science. These experiments should be taken into account as a vital key for the development of science. These negative results are the catalyst for a real science-based empirical knowledge. The journal will cover those original "secondary" experiments coming from all disciplines of Physics (Acoustics, Astronomy, Biophysics, Cosmology, Electromagnetism, Mechanics, Nuclear physics, etc). An article in /The All Results Journals:Phys/ should be created to show the failed experiments tuning methods or experimental set-ups. Articles should present experimental discoveries, interpret their significance and establish perspective with respect to earlier work of the author.
For full details of the scope, article types and author guidelines, please visit http://www.arjournals.com/ojs/index.php?journal=Phys. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for the journal. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
With my best wishes,
David Alcantara, PhD /Managing Editor The All Results Journals:Phys /alcantara@arjournals.com <mailto:alcantara@arjournals.com>/ / PS: If you feel any of your colleagues would be interested, please do forward this letter to them.
