Science seems to be flourishing like never before. However, science has become politicized up to the point where it has become the rule rather than the exception that dissenting submissions--i.e. manuscripts submitted for publication and research proposals submitted for funding that are critical of an accepted view or that propose a new view--are…

The media is crucial in managing public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic prompts researchers to design and implement fast, efficient research. They cause an infodemic in society by disseminating unprofessional and hasty information. This study examines the practical challenges of publicizing medical research and health data…
