ARRIVE Checklist for Animal Research Reporting

The ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) checklist is a reporting guideline developed to improve the transparency, rigor, and reproducibility of animal research publications. It specifies essential items that should be reported in in vivo studies, including study design, experimental procedures, animal characteristics, housing and husbandry, sample size, allocation methods, outcome measures, statistical analyses, and ethical compliance. Using the ARRIVE checklist ensures that animal research is reported systematically, allowing reviewers and readers to evaluate methodological quality, reproducibility, and ethical standards. Adherence to ARRIVE strengthens reporting quality and facilitates the publication of robust animal research in peer-reviewed journals.
