The perceived feasibility of methods to reduce publication bias
Publication bias is prevalent within the scientific literature. Whilst there are multiple ideas on how to reduce publication bias, only a minority of journals have made substantive changes to address the problem. We aimed to explore the perceived feasibility of strategies to reduce publication bias by gauging opinions of journal editors (n = 73) and other academics/researchers (n = 160) regardi...
متن کاملReview of publication bias in studies on publication bias: here's a proposal for editors that may help reduce publication bias.
We offer a solution to this problem that lies at the disposal of journal editors. Preliminary editorial decisions could be based solely on the peer review of the introduction and methods sections of submitted papers. These two sections deal with the key issues on which editorial decisions would ideally be based: the importance of the research question and the potential for the study design and ...
متن کاملMeta-regression approximations to reduce publication selection bias.
Publication selection bias is a serious challenge to the integrity of all empirical sciences. We derive meta-regression approximations to reduce this bias. Our approach employs Taylor polynomial approximations to the conditional mean of a truncated distribution. A quadratic approximation without a linear term, precision-effect estimate with standard error (PEESE), is shown to have the smallest ...
متن کاملDoes Registration Reduce Publication Bias? Evidence from Medical Sciences
There is broad recognition that reporting and publication biases operate at scale in academic scholarship. For example, published results in our field, political science, are much more likely to report p values just below the 0.05 critical value than just above it (Gerber and Malhotra, 2008a). This could be due to publication practices or to researcher degrees of freedom that allow them to sele...
متن کاملA two-step manuscript submission process can reduce publication bias.
Much of what is researched is never published. This would not be of great concern if the selection of what we read would occur irrespective of study outcomes. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case: "positive" studies have a much larger chance of acceptance after editorial and peer review than "negative" ones. Several solutions to this problem of publication bias have been discussed or implemen...
