Open data is vital in toxicology for several reasons:
Collaboration: Researchers from different institutions can collaborate more effectively, sharing insights and methodologies. Innovation: Open data facilitates new insights and discoveries, as researchers can build upon existing data without needing to start from scratch. Transparency: Public access to data helps ensure that safety assessments and regulatory decisions are based on sound science. Efficiency: It reduces duplication of effort, saving time and resources that can be directed toward novel research areas.
