| Abstract: |
Sharing knowledge is a basic tenet of the scientific community, yet
publication bias arising from the reluctance or inability to publish negative
or null results remains a long-standing and deep-seated problem, albeit one
that varies in severity between disciplines and study types. Recognizing that
previous endeavors to address the issue have been fragmentary and largely
unsuccessful, this Consensus View proposes concrete and concerted measures
that major stakeholders can take to create and incentivize new pathways for
publishing negative results. Funders, research institutions, publishers,
learned societies, and the research community all have a role in making this
an achievable norm that will buttress public trust in science. |
