The British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) has published the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting experiments involving animals, alongside other journals. These guidelines aim to improve the quality and transparency of animal research reporting. The ARRIVE guidelines, developed by the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a structured format for reporting details of animal experiments in scientific reports. The guidelines emphasize the importance of clear, explicit reporting to ensure that studies can be replicated and independently verified. The guidelines are based on principles from the CONSORT statement, which was developed to improve the reporting of randomized clinical trials. The ARRIVE guidelines are comprehensive and cover various aspects of animal research, including ethical standards, statistical analysis, and the methods used for euthanasia and tissue harvesting. They also highlight the importance of anaesthesia and analgesia, particularly in recovery experiments, for both ethical and scientific reasons. BJP supports the ARRIVE guidelines and encourages their adoption by other journals. The journal emphasizes the need for detailed and consistent reporting of animal experiments to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of research findings. The guidelines also address the specific needs of pharmacology, including the ethical and welfare considerations of animal use, and the importance of accurate reporting of experimental details. BJP requires authors to provide information that allows referees and editors to assess whether the conditions under which human and animal experiments are conducted meet UK standards. The journal also offers guidance on ethical and animal welfare issues through its Animal Ethics Adviser. The ARRIVE guidelines are intended to promote informed debate and improve the quality of animal research. Authors are encouraged to provide feedback on the guidelines to help refine them for the pharmacology discipline.The British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) has published the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting experiments involving animals, alongside other journals.
