Distributions of the inclination corrected properties of star-forming galaxies in the three galaxy datasets SDSS, GAMA, and COSMOS, based on the different rest-frame detection criteria. The criteria are: (1) the galaxy is detected in at least one band (black), (2) the galaxy is detected in at least one UV band, one optical, one NIR, and one MIR band with S/N > 3 (blue), (3) the galaxy is detected in at least one UV band with S/N > 3 (red), (4) the galaxy is detected in at least one optical band with S/N > 3 (yellow), (5) the galaxy is detected in at least one NIR band with S/N > 3 (green), (6) the galaxy is detected in at least one MIR band with S/N > 3 (purple). The properties are, from top to bottom, inclination 1 − cos(i), redshift z, stellar mass log(M_*), half-light radius r_1/2, Sérsic index n and stellar mass surface density μ_*. In general, the UV selection affects the number of galaxies detected in all samples. Most of the differences in selections are not visible, as the distributions overlap with each other. There is a bias toward more massive galaxies when requiring a MIR-detection in COSMOS.
