Something that pushes the experimental results one way or another.
Bias.
Bias. If a person lets there bias into a scientific experiment, the results will likely be skewed.
A fact. Really its called bias.
perform several independent experiments on the same topic
Scientists usually prefer experiments that yield objective and consistent results, which are reproducible and not influenced by researcher bias. By using a controlled experimental design and randomization techniques, scientists can minimize bias and increase the reliability of their findings.
To prevent bias; neither the doctor or patient know who gets the drug so there is no way for subjective bias to be applied to either.
Scientists have to put away any bias they may have, when doing experiments.
People who perform experiments take some care to avoid introducing their personal bias into the results. But even if there is a bias, the same experiment may be done by other people who have other biases or who are more successful in working in an unbiased manner. Eventually, truth will emerge.

Bias in the data is inaccurate data. Any error in data will yield false results for the experiment. Experiments by their nature must be exact. Many trials are not accepted until the results can be duplicated.
Fixed Bias,Self Bias, Forward Bias, Reverse Bias
Placebos are used in experiments as a control to help researchers determine the true effect of a treatment or intervention by comparing it to a substance or procedure that has no therapeutic effect. By using placebos, researchers can better assess the effectiveness of a treatment and minimize the impact of bias or expectation on the results.
