Improving the reporting of ecotoxicity data: will SETAC lead the way?
The utility of ecotoxicity data generated by research activities for scientific and regulatory purposes relies on complete and accurate reporting of study methods and results. While relevant and reliable research data contribute to the scientific evidence base that underpins regulatory decisions,a lack of detail in reporting limits the amount of scientific information that can be used. This letter to the editor calls on publishers and editors, especially those of SETAC society journals, to implement reporting standards to improve the scientific and regulatory use of ecotoxicity studies. These standards should be based on the OECD Guidance Document on the Generation, Reporting and Use of Research Data for Regulatory Assessments, published in October 2025.
