Various characteristics influence the publication of scientific articles, including the quality of the content, its drafting, the journal's preferred topic, and the current needs, according to health advances or issues. However, other aspects such as the type of research results, the authors' recogni tion and editorial preferences mark the decision to reject or accept a manuscript; these are known as publication bias. Recognizing these biases allows teachers, researchers and students to maintain motivation and clinical judgement for presenting relevant academic proposals, and maintain a critical analysis of knowledge.
