How can standardised reporting of animal research advance the 3 Rs?

摘要

Although the publication of peer-reviewed scientific papers is the major way in which scientists communicate with one another, these papers often lack essential information about the conditions under which the animals lived and how they were treated during the experiments.Without this information it may be impossible to evaluate the studies , replicate them in another laboratory , or use them to advance the 3Rs in other animal experiments .This paper gives some advice on how the reporting of animal research can be improved .
