    I have never been anywhere close to academia, hell I don’t have a degree at all. However, I am very aware of the bullshit that goes on with publishing. Oddly enough, I occasionally need to read papers on material science or metallurgy.

    From my limited experience and understanding, there is no journal for null findings. Isn’t that equally important? Tempted to just make something basic for that.

    Anyway, to the point of the post - please seed.

      there are a few, but these are small and new, and most of the time null results are published along positive results, not on their own

      you can mirror entire scihub repository, it’s listed as hundreds of torrents somewhere, each is zip of 100000 pdfs. i think it’s under 200TB
