Guidelines
- The ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) include a checklist with the essential information that has to be provided when publishing about work involving test animals.
- The PREPARE guidelines and accompanying checklist help researchers to plan animal tests, in order to optimise the research in all respects.
- NC3RS: The British National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement & Reduction of Animals in Research is the best source of information about the three R’s: replacing, refining, and reducing. The three R’s are an essential standard with regard to planning research with animals in research.
