Citation Bias

"The various forms of citation bias (including amplification, diversion, and invention) are specific manifestations of confirmation bias as it applies to the scientific literature. Even well-trained scientists can and do fall prey to these basic cognitive biases.  This is exactly why scientists need to be skeptical critical thinkers."

Another reality of science practice that must be overcome.
