Grammar
Sentence correction
Is this correct: not all research will be published, and there is a chance that it may get published or not.
Does the sentence flow well and is it grammatically correct?
Thank you.

No, it doesn't flow properly. The easiest fix would be to delete everything after the comma. Oh, and start the sentence with a capital.

Ok thank. Then if the two sentences were written separately, how do they flow? Any mistakes?
Not all research will be published.
Research may get published or not.
Are these correctly written?

I prefer "Research may or may not be published", but I see no point in including both those sentences. They are too similar, so it feels repetitive.

Why are you trying to communicate here? Is it a warning/disclaimer to the researchers, letting them know that even if they go to the effort of doing the research, there's a strong chance it won't get published?
If so, then both of your sentences kinda say the same thing, yet neither make your disclaimer 100% clear.

Thank you. I am not going to include them both. I just wanted to get feedback on how to write them properly

We already know that there will always be a chance of not publishing a research.
No, I just wanted to check if I had the sentences correct and not for any specific purpose. I also concur with what you said that if I were to use that as a disclaimer it would be no where even near 50% clear.

If all you are concerned with here is correct grammar/vocab, then you are 100% correct.
If you actually wanted to use English to communicate something, I recommend not using the sentences you wrote.

Yes, all I am concerned with here is correct grammar/vocab.
What did you mean by if I want to use English to communicate, and not to use mu sentences. Do you mean that they are wrong?

I assume this is an academic journal.
Would it be better to speak of research papers, as they are what are actually submitted.for publication?
eg Not all research papers will be published.

There's more to communicating in English than just putting vocab and grammar together into sentences that are "correct."
Most language use occurs within a specific context (situation), for a specific purpose (goal).
It's possible to write English that has "correct" vocab and grammar and still not achieve the desired communicative goal.
Your sentences exist in a vacuum wi
