Objectivity, the ability to report study results without personal bias, is an important consideration when conducting research. The source of funding for a research project may bias the reporting of results. The funding source is usually included in the journal article. When reading an article from a funded research project, you must consider whether the funders of this research had anything to gain by the results. When research is paid for by a source that does not have an interest in the results, funder's expectations or preferences were less likely to have influenced the results.
