Presented by Keith Vogt, MD PhD, Assistant Professor, Departments of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine and Bioengineering

In this workshop, we will discuss sources of bias in scientific literature, including: falsified and incorrectly analyzed data, possible bias from publishers and media, the impact of proliferation of low-impact and predatory journals, and current research culture favoring positive results and little replication. (subject matter: peer review)
