The World Health Organisation (WHO) accepted OMON as an official data provider. This means that studies registered in OMON meet the requirement of prospective registration set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for publication in scientific journals. Modifications are automatically included in the (International Clinical Trial Registry Platform (ICTRP).
Recognition applies to all research data in OMON: from the old NTR and from ToetsingOnline. When registering a study in ToetsingOnline, the investigator therefore immediately meets the aforementioned requirement for prospective registration. Studies need not also be registered in another recognised registry, such as Clinicaltrials.gov.
