Bias Topics in Research Papers
Bias Topics in Research PapersBias topics in research papers can have some dramatic results. They also have some severe ramifications for the outcome of a research paper.When the authors choose a specific topic, or the research topics they are assigned are self-defined, it is their responsibility to present accurate and objective information. On the other hand, when these topics are clearly chosen by the lead researcher and assigned to their co-authors it becomes the responsibility of the other members of the research team to turn it into an unbiased research report. This can be tricky especially if the other members are relying on the lead researcher's research report to help shape their own research.The main cause of bias topics in research papers is obvious, the lead researcher and/or the co-authors are biased about the topic chosen. If one does not give any thought to the bias, the outcome can be disastrous. Therefore the lead researcher must be fully aware of all biases involved before making his final choice and selecting the topic.Another cause of bias topics in research papers is not being completely honest about the bias. Even if the lead researcher realizes that the topic is highly important to the paper and the quality of the data will probably suffer if the paper is not submitted in the relevant area, he must not reveal it at all.Another cause of bias topics in research papers is for some reason not keeping track of the bias. Sometimes they are unaware that they are under criticism, especially if they are members of the research team. This means they should immediately go back to the lead researcher to correct the problems if they are still present.The other major problem of bias topics in research papers is that they give negative conclusions. This happens mostly when the analysis suggests results that may not make sense.One more cause of bias topics in research papers is that the lead researcher has chosen the topic based on an assumption rather t han research findings. For example, if he believes that his topic is very important, then he makes the assumption that it is of interest to others and that is how it is presented in the paper. But as soon as he starts to look deeper, he finds that others are equally interested.
