Publication bias is a common problem in scientific publications.
This implies that editors and reviewers have a preference for
accepting manuscripts that confirm popular thought and shy away
from (1) papers that have significant findings which support
unpopular positions or (2) papers that have non significant
findings. Thus, respond to the following: Why is the peer review
