Improving Bioscience Research Reporting: The ARRIVE Guidelines for Reporting Animal Research

TLDR
Most of the papers surveyed did not report using randomisation or blinding to reduce bias in animal selection and outcome assessment, consistent with reviews of many research areas, including clinical studies, published in recent years.
Abstract
animals used (i.e., species/strain, sex, and age/weight). Most of the papers surveyed did not report using randomisation (87%) or blinding (86%) to reduce bias in animal selection and outcome assessment. Only 70% of the publications that used statistical methods fully described them and presented the results with a measure of precision or variability [5]. These findings are a cause for concern and are consistent with reviews of many research areas, including clinical studies, published in recent years [2–22].
