About

Rubbish Science is a unique open-access preprint journal dedicated to publishing unconventional and often-rejected research in the sciences. We provide a platform for scientifically sound studies that are deemed too niche, speculative, or unorthodox for traditional journals, offering a space where curiosity-driven inquiry and overlooked findings can contribute to a broader and more diverse scientific dialogue.
