Dear Vennila,
my guess is that you had a larger number of images in the batch/set starting at
180 degrees (hence the slightly incereased Rmerge for that batch) and that by
the end of that run your crystal had suffered from radiation damage (hence the
large Rmerge for the set starting at 360degrees
Dear CCP4lers,

Dear CCP4ers,
I think this is a very interesting initiative and it could potentially
lead to a discussion within the board.

What if the negative results contradict some recent papers in big journals?
Would the PI risk his / her contacts & connections? Of course for the PhD
student or postdoc, it matters a lot to get it 'published'..

In that case it is certainly not a "negative result" and I am actually surprised
someone even comes up with the idea of not publishing a result just for
Dear David
In addition to what Partha and Tim have just said, what if the negative
results are simply due to poor experimental skills and/or lack of attention
to detail?. I guess my question is would a journal that publishes negative
results be rapidly populated with junk data?.
Kind regar
Not if they are properly peer-reviewed as the ones mentioned within this thread
claim to be.
The prevention of junk is IMHO the main reason agains an all-open system as in

Just a comment: "positive" results can also be due to poor experimental skills
and/or lack of attention to detail etc.
Peer review should take care of this, at least to some extent. Negative results
can be very valuable.

Hmmm...I probably have a bit of experience in this business of 'negative
results'.
Let me just say that it definitely has negative impact on your career when
you criticize colleagues.
It is extremely difficult to cut through the 'defendant's' and editorial
denial. In my experience

Fairolniza,
my experience with multiple crystal forms growing from the same drop (I
had 4 that I was able to identify, there could have been more) was that
there were similarities in the way protein molecules packed into
"fibers" that were subsequently arranged into distinct crystal forms.

Negative results are not necessarily criticisms of colleagues, at least I don't
think it should be perceived as such. And if it is, folks should just grow
up...:-)
It may be (too) idealistic, but one could argue that the most important aspect
of scientific experiments is reproducibility. If no-o

This brings up a philosophical caveat that one should be very careful about
labeling one set of potential results "negative" and another "positive" before
even doing the experiment, because its all too easy to see what you hoped to
see even if it was only marginally there.
The best experimental
There are least two types of negative results
1) Contradiction of previously published results. Negative results of this kind
is either they are wrong, you are wrong or it depends on the differences within
the experimental methods used. An example of the latter case would be SPR vs

Try Autodock from Scripps. It worked beautifully for me. The docked peptide
