Publication bias – teaching materials
Burls, A. (2016). Publication bias – teaching materials. [Teaching Resource]
Abstract
The attached slides can be used to teach people about publication bias. There are notes beneath the slides with suggestions of how they might be used Prepared by Professor Amanda Burls and available from www.testingtreatments.org.
Task purpose: to help people understand publication bias by working through a real concrete example.
Key slides can be used usefully in a five minute slot in a session on appraising systematic reviews. However the extended use of the slides with group work could take up to an hour depending on how the teacher organises the session.
Assumes no prior knowledge but can be used for quite a high level of prior skill group (i.e. those with previous training in the critical appraisal of systematic reviews) and indeed works well for a group with heterogenous skill levels.
Skill area: making sense of the evidence from systematic review.
