Your contribution
to better science

animalstudyregistry.org is an online registry for scientific studies involving animals conducted around the world. It is operated by the German Centre for the Protection of Laboratory Animals (Bf3R) at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). The registry was launched as a reaction to the translational and reproducibility crisis and provides scientists a platform to register an exact study plan prior to the start of experiments in order to prevent selective reporting. This allows reviewers or other scientists to compare the initially registered contents with the final publication. Thereby, animalstudyregistry.org encourages transparency, reproducibility, and animal welfare.
