To Fail or Not to Fail

When new research topics appear, theoretical approaches are developed,
predictions are made, and expectations are raised. However, experiments,
modelling and simulations often show results that do not fit the
expectations and the theories that were used to design the models and
experiments appear to be incomplete or even wrong, or better to say
unexpected. These results are often regarded as “bad” results and the
conclusion of a failure is drawn! This leads often to the fact that
these theories and results are not published. We think that this is the
wrong approach as any result is a “good” result. It is a useful result,
which can be used for further decisions, adaption of models and
experiments. Therefore, we would like to raise attention on this issue
and encourage everybody to publish even “bad” results, providing their
discussion. These results could be helpful in the design of research
strategies or in the identification of new research areas.
