    Admitting that measuring bias is inherently subjective does not make it pseudoscience, and the methodologies used to measure each publications bias are listed on each page. This is not tantamount to “pseudoscience.”

    It’s never presented as more than an opinion, and you’re free to disagree with it.

      What do you think methodology means in the context of science?

        MBFC never claims to be “science”. In fact, your screenshot shows where it specifically claims that it is not.
