A possible way to alleviate the public skepticism toward regulatory science is to increase transparency by making all data and value judgments used in regulatory decision making accessible for public interpretation, ideally early on in the process, and following the concepts of Open Science. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges in strengthening Open Science initiatives in regulatory environmental risk assessment (ERA). In this discussion paper, we argue that the benefits associated with Open Science in regulatory ERA far outweigh its perceived risks. All stakeholders involved in regulatory ERA (e.g., governmental regulatory authorities, private sector, academia, and nongovernmental organizations), as well as professional organizations like the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, can play a key role in supporting the Open Science initiative, by promoting the use of recommended reporting criteria for reliability and relevance of data and tools used in ERA, and by developing a communication strategy for both professionals and nonprofessionals to transparently explain the socioeconomic value judgments and scientific principles underlying regulatory ERA.

监管环境风险评估中的开放科学

减轻公众对监管科学的怀疑的一种可能方法是通过使监管决策中使用的所有数据和价值判断可供公众解释来提高透明度，最好是在流程的早期，并遵循开放科学的概念。本文讨论了在监管环境风险评估 (ERA) 中加强开放科学计划的机遇和挑战。在本讨论文件中，我们认为与监管 ERA 中的开放科学相关的好处远远超过其感知风险。参与监管 ERA 的所有利益相关者（例如，政府监管机构、私营部门、学术界和非政府组织），以及环境毒理学和化学学会等专业组织，Integr Environ Assess Manag 2021；17:1229-1242。© 2021 作者。由 Wiley Periodicals LLC 代表环境毒理学与化学学会 (SETAC) 发布的综合环境评估和管理
