However, animal research is often reported poorly, and investigators and organizations responsible for research integrity seem to be insufficiently aware of the consequences of poor reporting. The ARRIVE reporting guidelines, first released in 2010, are a checklist of the minimal essential information required to allow independent appraisal of research for reproducibility, relevance, and conformity with best scientific practice. Guideline items can also enable investigators to identify and incorporate best practice procedures into their research before experiments begin. This comprehensive set of recommendations enables investigators to adhere to standards identified by NIH for reproducible research.

We support independent learning and encourage scholarship by providing one-on-one consultations, workshops tailored to specific classes (graduate and undergraduate), and faculty retreats focusing on publishing original research. One-on-one tutorials: The Writing Studio is a free service for current UF graduate and undergraduate students. Students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a consultant on issues specific to their own particular development. Because our aim is to help students become more effective writers, we do not simply proofread or edit documents. We can, however, assist students to become better proofreaders and editors of their own work.
