Scientific publishing has a bias against negative results and that hurts science, says Tim Fessenden, editor of @lsajournal.org, a publication of @rupress.org. Here’s how journal editors can help.
The value of publishing negative data - News
Scientific journals love news-worthy results. Editors want to publish studies with novel data that scientists will eagerly read and cite in their own work. Because of this desire for novelty, studies ...

Giving the gift of negative data 🥰

Since I joined @lsajournal.org I have handled several stellar manuscripts that report null results. These papers do very well and reviewers almost always appreciate them!

Thanks @rockefeller.edu news team for the article!

Unknown driver mutations are enriched in Alzheimer's patients with Y chromosome loss, suggesting LOY-driven clonal myeloid expansion may contribute to distinct disease-associated mutational profiles.
Loss of Y chromosome in Alzheimer’s patients co-occurs with somatic mutations beyond CHIP drivers
Loss of Y chromosome (LOY) and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) are common age-related events with implications for aging and Alzheimer disease (AD). LOY is linked to increased…

The ion channel-kinase TRPM7 maintains intracellular Mg2+ homeostasis, affects early Ca2+ signals, influences downstream Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways and thus is crucial for T-cell activation and differentiation.
