A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.
WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

The AVHRR aerosol optical depth (AOD) is inverted from measured reflectances in the red band using a statistical correlation of surface reflectance with mid-infrared channel reflectances and a modelling climatology of the aerosol type. For…
Craig R. Miller, Anna C. Nagel, LuAnn Scott et al. · 2016 · PeerJ
Parallelism is important because it reveals how inherently stochastic adaptation is. Even as we come to better understand evolutionary forces, stochasticity limits how well we can predict evolutionary outcomes. Here we sought to quantify…
Tianxing Pang, Jianping Peng, Ruiling Bian et al. · 2022 · Biology
RNA silencing is a host innate antiviral mechanism which acts via the synthesis of viral-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs). We have previously reported the infection of phytopathogenic fungi by plant viruses such as cucumber mosaic…
Naoko Witzel · 2019 · Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
This study examines whether synonyms are represented similarly to translation equivalents in the bilingual mind. In particular, this study investigated whether there is masked synonym priming such that it will simulate masked translation…

Unlike conventional pharmaceuticals, biologics and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) are required to meet a standard of “potency” as part of the final release criteria at completion of manufacture. During early phase clinical…
Cory J. Clark, Paul Connor, Calvin Isch · 2023 · Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
With a sample of 228 psychology papers that failed to replicate, we tested whether the trajectory of citation patterns changes following the publication of a failure to replicate. Across models, we found consistent evidence that failing to…
