Publication Bias “Publication bias refers to the greater likelihood that studies with positive results will be published” JAMA 2002;287:2825-2828

Publication Bias Positive trials are more likely to be submitted for publication Positive trials are more likely to be published Positive trials are more likely to be published quickly Stern and Simes BMJ 1997;315:640-645

Publication Bias Sterling study: 97% of papers published in 4 psychology journals showed statistically significant results at alpha level 5% ! Dickersin study: compared published RCTs with unpublished ones .results:55%pub,15% unpub, favoring new therapy! Mahoney stuD:75 reviewers asked to review different versions of a fictitious manuscript. ”introduction” & ”methods” : identical, ”results” & “discussion” : different (+/ambiguous /-). results of reviewers evaluation : manuscripts with “positive” results received higher average scores!

Publication Bias 1)…if they had reached sig. 2) positive result 3) interesting results for both reviewers & authors! 4) language bias (ENG) in being included in a meta-analysis.
