EBT: Preregistration templates for toxicology and environmental health research

This Special Issue is a joint effort between Evidence-Based Toxicology and the Center for Open Science, to support improvement in research by promoting the preregistration of scientific studies.

We will consider for the Special Issue any type of preregistration template in any suitable format, so long as it can be applied in the fields of toxicology or environmental health and it adheres to EBT’s submission guidelines around open data standards and the principles of evidence-based toxicology.

Submissions may include templates for new alternative methods (NAMs), animal studies, and human observational research, for both primary studies and secondary study designs such as systematic evidence maps and systematic reviews.

Preregistration Templates will continue to be a submission type for Evidence-Based Toxicology after the Special Issue closes, the articles will just not be published as part of the Special Issue or be eligible for the prize for Best Preregistration Template.
