ABSTRACT The utility and credibility of environmental assessments depend on the use of unbiased data. However, it is increasingly clear that, despite peer review, much of the scientific literature is biased. Sources of bias include publication practices, research design and implementation, funding influences, investigator expectations, statistical methods, confounding, suppression, and fraud. Assessors can take precautions against biased data by performing their own reviews of the sources of…

Bias in the development of health and ecological assessments and potential solutions
ABSTRACT The effectiveness and credibility of environmental decisions depend on the information provided by scientific assessments. However, the conflicting assessments provided by government…
Scientific integrity issues in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry: Improving research reproducibility, credibility, and transparency.
TLDR
This work reviews a range of topics including conflicts of interests, competing interests, some particularly challenging situations, reproducibility, bias, and other attributes of ecotoxicological studies that enhance or detract from scientific credibility.
An academic researcher's guide to increased impact on regulatory assessment of chemicals.
TLDR
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the general workings of legislation of chemicals and propose a set of actions to increase the usability of research data, which may increase the use of academic research for decision-making and ultimately result in more science-based policies.

The Perspectives column is a regular series designed to discuss and evaluate potentially competing viewpoints and research findings on current environmental issues
There is not much reason to believe that scientists as individuals do not suffer from the same cognitive biases and use the same heuristics (rules of thumb in solving problems) as people in general…
In Response: We are all biased, but the scientific process recognizes that and delivers despite it; still, it can do a better job--A perspective from academia.
TLDR
An increasing body of evidence begins to call into question the ability of science to self-correct, including evidence of funding bias in risk assessments and evidence of increasing retraction rates in the primary literature that are predominantly the result of fraud.
Breastfeeding and the origins of health: Interdisciplinary perspectives and priorities
TLDR
To advance research on breastfeeding and HM and maximize the reach and impact of this research, larger investments are needed, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential, and the scientific community must engage families and other stakeholders in research planning and knowledge translation.
Including or excluding toxicity test data for development of a geometric mean.

TLDR
The purpose of this Letter to the Editor is to suggest guidance for including or excluding toxicity test data when a geomean is developed using a range of toxicity test results.
Data-Driven Machine Learning in Environmental Pollution: Gains and Problems.
TLDR
The use of ML methods to revolutionize environmental science and its problem-solving scenarios has its own challenges, such as the tradeoff between model performance and interpretability, prerequisites of the machine learning model, model selection, and data sharing.

Instruments for Assessing Risk of Bias and Other Methodological Criteria of Published Animal Studies: A Systematic Review
TLDR
A review of instruments for assessing risk of bias and other methodological criteria of published animal studies highlights a number ofrisk of bias assessment criteria that have been empirically tested for animal research, including randomization, concealment of allocation, blinding, and accounting for all animals.
Assessing the Reliability and Credibility of Industry Science and Scientists
TLDR
It is argued that a wide variety of mechanisms enable policymakers and the public to assure themselves that studies performed or funded by industry are identified as such, meet high scientific standards, and are not suppressed when their findings are adverse to industry’s interests.
A review of conflict of interest, competing interest, and bias for toxicologists

TLDR
This article is not a commentary or editorial but an attempt to supply an overview of what has been said, researched, and accomplished in the area of conflict of interest for toxicologists.
Why Public Health Agencies Cannot Depend on Good Laboratory Practices as a Criterion for Selecting Data: The Case of Bisphenol A
TLDR
Differences between industry-funded GLP studies of BPA conducted by commercial laboratories for regulatory purposes and non-GLP studies conducted in academic and government laboratories are reviewed to identify hazards and molecular mechanisms mediating adverse effects.
Information Quality in Regulatory Decision Making: Peer Review versus Good Laboratory Practice
TLDR
The solution to determining relative merit lies in developing a well-documented, generally accepted weight-of-evidence scheme to evaluate both peer-reviewed and GLP information used in regulatory decision making where both merit and specific relevance inform the process.
The threat to scientific integrity in environmental and occupational medicine
TLDR
The authors recommend that professional organisations adopt a code of ethics that requires openness from public health professionals; that they not undertake research or use data where they do not have freedom to publish their results, and that their research independence be protected through professional and legal support.
Science, Policy, and the Transparency of Values
TLDR
When scientific evidence is inconclusive and major regulatory decisions are at stake, it is unrealistic to think that values can be excluded from scientific reasoning, and efforts to suppress or hide interests or values may actually damage scientific objectivity and public trust.
Regulatory reinforcement of journal conflict of interest disclosures
TLDR
The journal editors appear to be reaching the limits of what they can realistically accomplish in protecting the integrity of public health research by disclosing for readers potential sources of author bias.
Reproducible epidemiologic research.
TLDR
A standard for reproducibility is outlined and methods for reproducible research are proposed and implemented by use of a case study in air pollution and health.
Good Laboratory Practices and Safety Assessments
TLDR
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements are indispensable for providing scientific confidence in studies conducted for chemical safety determinations, and it is entirely appropriate for greater weight to be given to GLP studies than non-GLP studies that are only available as articles in scientific journals.
