What Strategies Can Mitigate Publication Bias in Toxicology?
Several strategies can help mitigate publication bias. Encouraging the publication of all research outcomes, regardless of the direction or significance, is crucial. Journals should adopt policies that prioritize methodological quality over result significance. Establishing study registries where researchers must pre-register their study protocols can also enhance transparency. Mandating that all studies, especially those funded by industry, are publicly accessible through open-access repositories can further reduce bias.
