How do you all feel about publishing "negative" research studies, or studies where the null hypothesis persists? I just finished a cohort study using very thorough statistical methods, but we were unable to prove our original hypothesis. I still think we ought to try and publish our data, though it is not a "sexy" result.
Is this something others have had luck with? I feel as though journals may be less likely to accept a negative study, but it is otherwise a knowledge gap that was previously unexplored.
