About
David Moher is a towering figure in research methodology and evidence synthesis, best known for pioneering the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses—a cornerstone of transparent reporting that has been adopted by thousands of journals worldwide. His work centers on improving the quality, reproducibility, and integrity of biomedical research, with a particular focus on identifying and mitigating questionable research practices. In his highly cited 2022 study, Moher analyzed over 163,000 randomized controlled trials, revealing widespread indicators of bias and poor reporting, a finding that has reshaped how the scientific community approaches trial design and evaluation. He has also explored the intersection of open science and impact metrics, showing that open science practices in dentistry correlate with higher citation rates and Altmetric scores. More recently, Moher has turned his attention to the ethical use of artificial intelligence in research, surveying medical researchers on their perceptions of AI chatbots in the scientific process. With tens of thousands of citations across his body of work, Moher’s contributions have fundamentally advanced the standards of research conduct and reporting, making him an indispensable voice in the global movement toward more rigorous, transparent, and trustworthy science.
