Scientific information bias

The scientific information bias is the interested presentation of the results of scientific research, which will be published depending on the characteristics and direction of the results obtained. In empirical research, information bias refers to the tendency to underestimate unexpected or undesired experimental results, attributing the results to sampling or measurement errors, while relying more on expected or desirable results , although these may be subject to the same sources of error. Over time, an information bias can lead to a situation where multiple researchers can discover and rule out the same results, and later other researchers will justify their own information bias by relying on the results of biased previous studies. Thus, each case of information bias is likely to give rise to other events in the future. Types of scientific information bias
