As is often the case, it was short article by another editor that started me wondering
about potential unconscious bias in the way the Education & Self Development editorial
team decides to accept the ‘best’ articles for publication, asks for revisions on others, and
rejects the remainder. In her article, Deborah Bowman (2019) reviews a fascinating account
of how the research into the causes of cholera went un-reported in the medical
literature of the day, because it conflicted with the long-held views of the majority of the
medical profession (see Johnson, 2006).
