What Role Do Researchers and Journals Play in Addressing Publication Bias?
Researchers and journals both have a critical role in addressing publication bias. Researchers should commit to publishing all findings, adhering to ethical standards of transparency and integrity. Journals should implement peer-review processes that focus on the scientific rigor of studies rather than the novelty of results. Additionally, journals can support initiatives like the AllTrials campaign, which advocates for the registration and reporting of all clinical trials.
