A scoping review of activities intended to reduce publication bias in randomised trials.

Background: The World Health Organization recommends that a randomised controlled trial (RCT) publishes its results in a peer-reviewed journal within 24 months of study completion. When RCTs are not published or publication is delayed, this can contribute to publication bias, which is the tendency for studies with positive or significant results to be published more frequently than studies with nonsignificant or negative results. This bias skews the available evidence, creating a distorted view of the research landscape.

Why Research From Lower- and Middle-Income Countries Matters to Evidence-Based Intervention: A State of the Science Review of ACT Research as an Example.

Despite the global nature of psychological issues, an overwhelming majority of research originates from a small segment of the world's population living in high-income countries (HICs). This disparity risks distorting our understanding of psychological phenomena by underrepresenting the cultural and contextual diversity of human experience. Research from lower- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is also less frequently cited, both because it is seemingly viewed as a "special case" and because it is less well known due to language differences and biases in indexing algorithms.

Article Synopsis
- Citation bias is often overlooked in ethical discussions but can severely distort scientific understanding and progress.
- While gender and ethnicity disparities in citations are recognized, region-based citation bias is also a critical yet less acknowledged issue.
- The scientific community should address citation bias to enhance the accuracy of research dissemination, support underrepresented voices, and maintain integrity in the scientific process.
Academic Citation Partnership: A Predatory Practice that Undermines Scholarly Integrity.

Recently, academic circles have raised concerns about academic citation partnerships. Many researchers receive emails offering these partnerships, often landing in their spam folders. In this paper, I refer to academic citation partnerships as unethical collaborative arrangements where researchers or authors agree to cite each other's work in their academic publications to enhance their academic profiles, often measured by metrics like the h-index.
