1-Literature searches

Literature searches help to:

identify possible non-animal alternatives to all or part of the proposed study
prevent unnecessary repetition of animal studies
identify efforts to reduce animal numbers
identify refinements to procedures in the planned study

Consider the use of systematic reviews.

General principles

For fish researchers

Many more links to specific guidance on literature searching, databases and systematic reviews are available in a separate section of this website.

Systematic reviews can be used not only to determine the need for more studies, but also for "synthesis of evidence": drawing new conclusions from already published data: 'Towards Evidence-Based Research'.
