The ARRIVE guidelines 2.0 for reporting animal research

Reproducibility is a crucial aspect in science, including animal research. However, publications of animal research often lack important information, making it difficult or impossible to adequately assess the methods or findings. For example, the method of randomisation and the method of blinding are in some cases inadequately described, if at all. To address these issues, the first ARRIVE guidelines were published in 2010. The updated guidelines – ARRIVE 2.0 – were published in 2020, along with an explanation that provides further context to the guidelines.
