The National Academies Announces New Project for Scientific Publications Involving Animal Studies
The National Academies’ Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) has announced a new project titled “Guidelines for Scientific Publications Involving Animal Studies.” The project, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will include preparation of a short committee report directed at editors of journals that publish animal studies. The report will outline the information that should be included in scientific papers regarding the animal studies to make certain that the study can be replicated. The extent of the necessary information will be decided by the committee, and will include things such as, conditions of housing and husbandry, genetic nomenclature, microbial status, detailed experimental manipulations, and handling and use of pharmaceuticals. Evidence-based rationale for the need to include this information will also be presented.
