פרסום משוחד

This is more like 'biased publication', so you'll have to rephrase the sentence. However, to be biased is to be משוחד
(and to forestall disagreement: no, it does NOT mean to be bribed!).

הטיית פרסום

The precise phrasing could change with the specific context. However, the source term refers to a distinct phenomenon whereas the first suggested translation is rather an explanation, and the second turns the "publication" into the object instead of the "bias".

Note the capitalization of "Publication Bias".
The sentence presented by Smantha could be translated as:
"הבעייה של הטיית פרסום מוכרת היטב בספרות הרפואית"
Example sentence:

ראוי להזהר מפני הטיית פרסום כאשר סוקרים ספרות מחקרית בנושא מסויים, שכן ייתכן כי מחקרים שלא ענו על צפיות החוקרים זכו לפחות חשיפה.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Eynati : Changing the syntax around is a common & legit way of handling 2 very different languages. I doubt that many readers know what your suggested phrase means; it's NOT a std phrase as you claim, unlike SD.

"Publication bias" is a fixed phrase denoting a specific type of bias. Those accessing literature containing the phrase should be aware of it, or learn. Imagine translating "standard deviation" as "סטייה תקנית" rather than "סטיית תקן".
