Journal of Unexpected Findings: A Curation of Articles with Null, Negative, and Inconclusive Results is an open-access, multidisciplinary journal that aims to provide a platform for publishing high-quality research articles that present unexpected, null, negative, or inconclusive results. JUF curates articles from diverse fields, including but not limited to natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and humanities. JUF invites high-quality studies with unexpected outcomes that are contradictory to the hypothesis, underlying theory, and research design. We believe that research with unexpected, null, negative, or inconclusive results does not necessarily translates to a failed study but rather a lesson to learn, which might offer valuable insights into the future research process, methodology, and practice.

JUF is dedicated to promoting open and transparent communication of unexpected research findings and contributing to the growth and diversification of scientific knowledge. The scope of JUF includes but is not limited to empirical studies, theoretical papers, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews. JUF also welcomes replication studies and re-analyses of existing data, as well as conceptual papers that discuss the importance and implications of unexpected findings for advancing knowledge. This journal emphasizes rigorous and transparent methodology and encourages authors to provide detailed descriptions of their methods, data, and analysis.
