ABSTRACT
Thorough and unbiased reporting of research is essential for the progress of science and, ultimately, for how science is assessed by stakeholders and perceived by the public. However, the objective process of data generation and reporting is subjected to a number of nonscientific influences that pose challenges to some investigators’ objectivity toward research. Currently, subjectivity and bias, often neglected by stakeholders, have the capability of promoting funding and careers, and an end is not in sight, unless changes are made within the system. This contribution can reflect some only of the large body of literature on this topic.
