Let’s Publish Failures in Science : JOTE (The Journal of Trial & Error) Case Study There is an academic journal that lives by the motto of ‘let’s publish failures in science.’ We are talking about the peer-reviewed open access journal based in the Netherlands called the Journal of Trial & Error (JOTE). This project is centered around the belief that ‘the way science is communicated affects the way science is done’ and is run by graduate students (master’s and doctoral degree candidates) studying in various fields, including history, neuroscience, philosophy, physics, artificial intelligence, toxicology, and more. This month’s issue of CAF Insight will explore the background behind the birth of JOTE, the journal’s purpose, and the activities pursued by the JOTE team. We will also discuss the implications of their efforts.
