I can understand why journals don’t publish studies which don’t find anything. But they really should publish studies that are unable to replicate previous findings. If the original finding was a big deal, its potential nullification should be equally noteworthy.


While I would have agree with that when I was younger. I learned there is a lot of possibilities why PhD students (the guys who do studies) fail to replicate anything (and I am talking about fundamental solid engineering).
