Success as a biomedical scientist depends on publishing relevant findings to answer a biological question. A scientist needs to publish as frequently as possible in as many prestigious outlets as possible to meet certain requirements set forth by the institution to stay afloat in the hypercompetitive environment for obtaining grant funding. However, publication bias can be detrimental to the reproducibility and replicability of a study. It can also disrupt the self-correcting mechanism of the scientific method. Publication bias can lead to a lack of transparency within the study where an unpublished neutral or negative result could be necessary for another scientist to reproduce and extend the original idea. This bias has contributed to an uncomfortable trend within all scientific communities; that all novel, exciting, and innovative findings deserve more emphasis over reproducibility of the experiments or the methods.
