Publication Bias in Science Withholding Findings from the Public

There is an unfortunate bias that undermines the integrity of scientific research, known as publication bias. This phenomenon influences which findings get published, influencing public understanding while limiting the advancement of knowledge. But how deep does this issue run? Is it merely a preference for more significant results, or is there an agenda influencing these decisions? By examining the study "Publication Bias in the Social Sciences: Unlocking the File Drawer," [1] we can determine the true extent of this issue.
