Time-lag bias occurs when results of some studies are released several years after those from other studies,meaning that the later results cannot be reported.Citation bias occurs when certain studies are cited more often than others and are more likely to be identified in database searchers.Location biases occur if studies are published in lower-impact journals and indexed in less-searched databases.Outcome-reporting biases occur when study results are not reported accurately and clearly.
