I remember there being a single word to represent currently accepted facts in a scientific discipline. Common knowledge, but in a scientific setting. It is a jargon-y sounding word.
You’d use it when mentioning an accepted theory or concept that may be unfamiliar to a reader, but is common enough that you don’t need to prove or cite it yourself.
The case I’m trying to use it in is like this:
…important to note that this study is not on the existence of the bias as it is _______, but rather the failure of subjects to account for it…
I’d like to emphasize that I’m looking for a single word. I may be misremembering it, but I am pretty certain there is one word that fits this description.

Scientific consensus (from Wikipedia):
the collective judgment, position, and opinion of the community of scientists in a particular field of study.
It also relates to Kuhn’s paradigm shift which says that a single finding does not change the scientific consensus.

I can’t think of a specifically scientific term, and although the suggestion of @Boondggle is not wrong, the use of the term “consensus” tends to irk me personally. A wording that I would prefer, although one can argue it really isn’t any better, is:
“it is generally accepted”
or more positively, and without the implication that scientific truth is determined by vote:
“it is well established”
generally citing a reference to a review of the topic, if possible.
So in the example given in the question I would write:
…important to note that this study is not on the existence of the bias — which is well establishedref — but rather the failure of subjects to account for it…
