2014, Environmental Health Perspectives

AI-generated Abstract

This paper discusses the necessity of transparency in scientific communication, particularly in the context of policy-making regarding endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). It reflects on a dispute involving scientists and the European Commission's regulatory approaches, arguing that scientists should openly acknowledge their values and assumptions to enhance objectivity and public trust. The authors advocate for a more integrated view of science and policy, suggesting that transparency about interests and values can ultimately lead to better science-informed decision-making.
