On the "Academy" - Addendum

Here, folks, is an excellent definition of publication bias - "Publication bias is a well-known phenomenon in which positive results have a better chance of being published, are published earlier, and are published in journals with higher impact factors." H.H. Dubben, British Medical Journal, 2005.............I also heartily recommend that you read the 12/13/13 article in the London Guardian by Nobel Prize winner, Randy Schekman, in which the dude specifically targets journals such as "Nature" and "Science" (journals that have published a lot of global warming crap) as being especially culpable in this regard.
