Scientific paper

In recent years there have been many reported detections of highly redshifted or blueshifted narrow spectral lines (both emission or absorption) in the X-ray spectra of active galaxies, but these are all modest detections in terms of their statistical significance. If real, these represent a new and potentially powerful probe of the inner regions of AGN. In this talk we will review the issue of the significance of these detections and, in particular, will discuss the somewhat neglected issue of publication bias in astronomy.
