I know you didn't want to stimulate discussion, but the problem is not confined to publication. "Adverse reaction to medication" monitoring programs are plagued by a similarly massive under-reporting problem: adverse reactions are seldom reported unless they are particularly bad or surprising. (The Ministry of Health in my country estimates 90% of cases are never reported.) Remembering to check for possible bias from unreported cases is a human problem for analysts. Which, if any, R packages have proven useful to detecting the existence of a systematic under-reporting problem might well be an appropriate topic for this list.
