PRO-SCIENCE
These sources consist of legitimate science or are evidence-based through the use of credible scientific sourcing. Legitimate science follows the scientific method, is unbiased, and does not use emotional words. These sources also respect the consensus of experts in the given scientific field and strive to publish peer-reviewed science. Some sources in this category may have a slight political bias but adhere to scientific principles. See all Pro-Science sources.

Analysis / Bias
The website primarily focuses on industry-related news covering mergers, the pharmaceutical industry, and reports on clinical trials. Articles and headlines use moderately loaded language such as this Four Biotechs Rake in Over $350 Million for Rare Diseases, Cancers and More. When it comes to sourcing information, they use credible sources such as Business Wire and PR Newswire.
They also publish advances in research and development such as this Eagle Pharmaceuticals Announces TREAKISYM (bendamustine) Ready-to-Dilute (“RTD”) Formulation. In general, Biospace promotes pro-science news with minimal political bias, though they tend to favor the pharmaceutical industry. We rate them Mostly Factual due to a failed fact check.
