During September of this year, a round table convened at the LAVA-ESLAV-ECLAM conference on Reproducibility of Animal Studies in Edinburgh, to discuss more about the problems in publishing animal research.
The discussion involved representatives from journals (including F1000Research, PLOS ONE, BMJ Open Science, and The Lancet), funders (including Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust), and professional organisations (including EASE and EQUATOR).
The outcome was a statement published in BMC Veterinary Research this week, authored by a team led by Nicola Osborne. The document puts forward a pledge to improve reporting and reproducibility standards in animal research, and calls upon academics and laboratory veterinarians to drive this change.
The statement can be accessed here: Osborne et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:314. DOI 10.1186/s12917-017-1235-9
