ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) Guidelines
Our ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) guidelines are intended to improve the reporting of research using animals – maximising information published and minimising unnecessary studies.
Topic: Reduction
Searching for 3Rs Information - Published Literature Sources
The I3R group produced the first edition of this document in January 2001 to assist researches and information professionals in the pharmaceutical industry.

Inbred Strains of Mice and Rats-Jax
This page provides access to searchable, hypertext listings of inbred strains of mice and inbred strains of rats. Both sets of information were provided by Dr. Michael FW Festing (MRC Toxicology Unit) and were converted for Web presentation by the Mouse Genome Informatics Group at The Jackson Laboratory.

RSPCA Rodent Welfare Group
A key aim of the Group is to encourage people to take account of the whole lifetime experience of laboratory rodents, ensuring that every potential impact on their wellbeing has been reviewed and refined.
