What are the Key Initiatives Supporting Open Science in Toxicology?
Several initiatives and platforms are promoting open science within the toxicological community:
Open Data Initiatives: Platforms like the European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA) database offer comprehensive data on chemical substances, supporting open data practices. Open Access Journals: Journals such as PLOS ONE and Environmental Health Perspectives provide open access to research articles, facilitating widespread dissemination of knowledge. Collaborative Projects: Projects like Tox21, a collaboration between various U.S. federal agencies, aim to develop better methods for assessing chemical toxicity through open collaboration.
