RESEARCH BIAS:

A general term that refers to any biases in a scientific research study¹. The term Research Bias is non-specific, and therefore could refer to any number of Selection, or Information biases described in this dictionary. For this reason, it is generally not preferred. Also see: Selection Bias, Information Bias, and Confounding Bias.
