> There's already a terrible stigma around negative results. Grant committees and tenure committees would subconsciously like to believe that you are not a scientist who need to test hypotheses, but a clairvoyant superhero who only has correct hypotheses. Yes, this is ridiculous and anti-scientific. this is exactly why an archive of these sorts of results is necessary. so that we can see that this is part of the process, de-stigmatize it, and use those findings to make more progress and design better experiments to gain further insight into the world. replication and null results are an important part of the scientific process and building up our overall store of knowledge. it can't all be sexy groundbreaking proofs of new hypotheses.
