Study registries offer several benefits in toxicology:
Transparency: By providing open access to study details, registries enhance transparency, allowing stakeholders to understand how toxicological research is conducted. Prevention of Redundancy: Registries help avoid duplicate studies, saving resources and reducing unnecessary exposure of test subjects to potentially harmful substances. Facilitation of Meta-Analyses: Registries make it easier to conduct meta-analyses, as they provide a comprehensive source of data for researchers. Publication Bias Reduction: By registering studies before results are known, registries help reduce publication bias, ensuring that all findings, positive or negative, are accessible.
