The author of the article, Ioannidis, has published extensively about the unreliability of reported medical and biochemical results, over a more than 10 year period. The article is not so much “biased” towards psychology, as focusing on that one area.
Right, “focusing” is a better description. But I wonder if this focusing resulted in a generalization which is a bit too sweeping. The “publish or perish” race is certainly everywhere in academia, but its side effects might be better mitigated in some areas than in others.
