Seven Dimensions Research Journal

Seven Dimensions is a null-result journal for behavior analytic practice. This journal and its editors brought this idea to light following continuous discussions about where "bad" or non-result research ends up. Often, these important research questions do not see publication, and ultimately do not help to inform the field on the brilliant ideas occurring in research. Here, these articles have found a home, where researchers can highlight their work, discussion where practices could have been different, and continue the important discussion of WHY these questions still hold socially significant meaning.
