Years ago after spending uncountable beers listening to the frustration of several PhDs friends, I had the idea of a journal for research failures/dead-ends.

The idea was to look at unfruitful research as something useful for the community and give some credit to time and resources spent doing something that did not work (and should not repeated by others). I still wonder if that would create the wrong incentive though and if that could be feasible at all (who likes to talk about money and time wasted?)

EDIT: fixed wrong sentence
