- Title
Telling it Like it is: A Proposal to Improve Transparency in Biomedical Research.
- Authors
Hadley, John
- Abstract
Recent proposals to improve public communication about animalbased biomedical research have been narrowly focused on reforming biomedical journal submission guidelines. My suggestion for communication reform is broader in scope, reaching beyond the research community to healthcare communicators and ultimately the general public. The suggestion is for researchers to provide journalists and public relations practitioners with concise summaries of their 'animal use data'. Animal use data is collected by researchers and intended for the public record but is rarely, if ever, given significant media exposure. By providing healthcare communicators with specific details about their animal use, researchers can inform people about a matter of serious public interest and help to promote a more open and publicly accountable animal research culture.
