Comprehensive Guide to Reporting Animal Research
Originally published in PLOS Biology, ARRIVE was developed by the National Centre for the Replacement Refinement & Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs). The guidelines were made in consultation with the global scientific research community. In 2020, they were revised to create ARRIVE 2.0, which splits the checklist items into the ARRIVE Essential 10 and Recommended Set. At the ARRIVE website you will find extensive resources for helping biomedical researchers ensure comprehensive reports of experimental design and results.
