Most published biomedical research involving animal models is evaluated carefully to ensure that appropriate ethical standards are met. In the current study, 500 journals randomly selected from MedLine were assessed for whether they presented animal research. Of the 138 journals that did, the instructions to authors of 85 (61.6%) included a requirement for author assurance of adherence to ethical standards during experiments involving animals. In comparison to a wider range of biologic journals, biomedical science journals were more likely to have some sort of ethical policy concerning the reporting and presentation of animal experiments.
大多数已发表的涉及动物模型的生物医学研究都经过仔细评估，以确保符合适当的伦理标准。在当前的研究中，从MedLine中随机选择了500种期刊，评估它们是否发表过动物研究。在这500种期刊中，有138种发表过动物研究，其中85种（61.6%）期刊向作者发出的投稿指南中要求作者保证在涉及动物的实验中遵守伦理标准。与范围更广的生物学期刊相比，生物医学科学期刊更有可能制定某种关于动物实验报告和呈现的伦理政策。
