> International Journal of Interesting Negative Results
"Interesting" results would presumably include failures to replicate the results of other researchers. Those need to be published.
But really, for an honest scientist, aren't negative results at least as interesting as positive results? I'm assuming that a positive result is one that confirms some theory or assumption; so a negative result is actually more interesting, in that it kicks over the cauldron, and forces a re-evaluation of previous theories and assumptions. A positive result means "All is groovy; rudder amidships, full ahead". A negative result means "Wait - where exactly are we anyway?"
