Reviews of the website are available here.

This site includes, among other resources:

• the PREPARE guidelines for planning animal experiments
• a sponsors, to whom we are very grateful. These sponsors have in no way influenced the content or quality of the material on the website. Norecopa is an independent member organisation with a Board representing all the major stakeholders in animal research. Our aim has been to provide selected material (peer-reviewed where available) of high quality which can help to advance the Three Rs. It is therefore not a complete listing of all resources within the field of laboratory animal science. Many records cite products (e.g. books and audiovisual aids) which are commercially available. The prices of these products are likely to change and users of this website should always contact the supplier for the latest information. 

   

  We hope you find the site useful and we would like to hear from you, regardless of your opinion. Please also contact us if you discover dead links, or resources which you consider deserve a mention on this website.

  The website was presented at the FELASA congress in Brussels in June 2016 just after its launch, both in the form of a poster and a presentation. We have also written text in English and Norwegian which may be used freely to advertise the website.
