Journal: Biomedicine Hub

Submission Deadline: May 31, 2025

The journal Biomedicine Hub would like to highlight the critical role of negative results in advancing biomedical research by welcoming Research and Review Articles, Registered Reports, Systematic Reviews, and Letters that discuss null findings, inconclusive, or failed replications of previously published work. We aim to showcase studies that challenge the status quo, question underlying assumptions, and provide valuable insights despite not achieving the anticipated outcomes.

We welcome submissions of manuscripts covering one or several of the following aspects: 

  • well-conducted, scientifically-valid studies with negative, null, or non-significant findings; 
  • role of negative results for hypothesis development and testing; 
  • methodological challenges and lessons learned from studies yielding negative results; 
  • discussion of bias linked to negative findings and ways to overcome it. 

Please select the option “Call for Papers: Embracing Negative Results in General Medicine” when submitting your manuscript and mention this Call for Papers in your cover letter.
