Open science is crucial in toxicology because it enhances the reliability and transparency of research findings. Toxicological research often forms the basis for public health policies and safety regulations. By adopting an open science framework, researchers can ensure that data and methodologies are available for scrutiny and replication. This openness helps to mitigate the reproducibility crisis that has affected various scientific fields, including toxicology. Open access to toxicology research can also foster collaboration, innovation, and a more comprehensive understanding of toxic substances and their impacts.
