COS offers several tools that can be particularly beneficial for toxicologists:
Open Science Framework (OSF): A free, open-source platform to support researchers in managing their projects, collaborations, and data sharing. Preregistration: A process where researchers outline their study design and analysis plan before collecting data, helping to prevent bias and increase transparency. Registered Reports: A publishing format in which the introduction and methods of a study are peer-reviewed and accepted before data collection begins, focusing on the research question and methodology rather than the results.
