Summary/Abstract: Regarded as a stronghold of knowledge, intellectual pursuits, and meritocracy, the academic space still has to contend with the one of its biggest, and invisible, foes, namely communication bias. Because these spaces are populated by people, communication bias is alive and well even here, behind the walls of educational institutions, where objectivity and critical thinking are greatly valued. This article examines the idea of communication bias in academic settings, emphasizing the different manifestations and effects of the phenomenon. It also suggests measures for reducing bias and creating an atmosphere that supports open discourse and fairness in academic endeavours.
