Yes, we welcome submissions of methodologically sound research that may have been rejected elsewhere due to negative or null results. Please ensure your submission meets our documentation standards.
How do I become a reviewer?
We welcome researchers with relevant expertise to join our reviewer pool. Please contact us with your CV and areas of expertise. ORCID registration is required.
What languages do you accept?
