ILAR to Publish Guidelines for Scientific Publications Involving Animal StudiesA committee will prepare a short report aimed 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 ensure that the study can be replicated. The extent of the needed information will be determined by the committee, but will include for example, 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 be presented.
The project is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The approximate start date for the project is October 29, 2009.
A report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 12 months. More here. |
