“…Based on the findings described above, we cautiously conclude that CsA-induced toxicity itself and associated mediators work together to induce apoptotic cell death in CsA-induced ER stress. Further studies may be needed to confirm our proposed mechanism in transgenic BiP or CHOP knockout mice [29, 30]. …”

“…(2012) This bias against replication is even more remarkable, however, when it involves studies that invalidate rather than confirm the original result, especially when the original result has a high profile or is potentially field-defining-qualities that one would assume would increase the novelty and interest of the (non) replication itself (Goldacre, 2011;Wilson, 2011;Nosek et al, 2012;Yong, 2012a, b;Aldhous, 2011; for a view from the other side of replication, see Bissell, 2013). This is in part, a function of publishing economics: commercial journals earn money from subscription, access, and reprint fees (Lundh et al, 2010); high profile results and a high prestige reflected by a high Impact Factor help maintain the demand for these journals and hence ensure both a continuing stream of interesting new material and a steady or rising income for the journal as a whole (Lawrence, 2007;Munafò et al, 2009;Lundh et al, 2010;Marcovitch, 2010). Undercutting (or perhaps even qualifying) the high-profile results that help bring in these subscribers, new articles, and attention attacks the very foundation of this success-a journal that publishes high profile but incorrect papers is undercutting its case for subscription and author submissions.…”

“…Pese a que en un metaanálisis sobre el alcance del sesgo de publicación, en 2009 9 , no se observó la influencia de la direccionalidad de los datos en la decisión editorial, el carácter prospectivo de los estudios incluidos podría haber modificado la conducta de decisión editorial, al conocer el Comité Editorial que su revista estaba siendo investigada. Asimismo, las revistas suelen obtener mayor puntuación de factor de impacto mediante la publicación de estudios financiados por la industria debido a que este tipo de estudios serán más citados en otras revistas (seguramente incentivado por la propia industria) 10 y también suelen tener más ingresos con estudios financiados por la industria a través de las ventas de reimpresiones y separatas (suelen querer más cantidad para presentar en congresos y foros científicos) 11 . Pese a lo dicho, un estudio retrospectivo realizado en ocho revistas médicas, observó que ninguno de dichos aspectos había influenciado (aparentemente) en la decisión editorial, indicando que también existe un creciente interés por parte de las revistas en realizar un manejo ético y que minimice el sesgo de publicación 12 .…”
