Take Advantage of Our Many Resources for Enhancing the Rigor of Animal Research
“Despite the numerous successes stemming from animal research, concerning reports over the past decade have described biomedical experiments that fail to replicate or to translate in ways that improve human health. All research is not expected to translate to human treatments, as there is no perfect model. Scientific process is as much about failure as it is about success. Yet part of the scientific process is also continual improvement, which includes working to understand what might contribute to unexpected outcomes within animal research.” The Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) expressed that view in their...

NIH Preprint Pilot Expands to Include Preprints Across NIH-funded Research
Guest post by Kathryn Funk, program manager for NLM’s PubMed Central. Originally posted on the Musings from the Mezzanine blog. Kathryn Funk, Program Manager, PubMed Central, NLM In 2020, I shared information about NLM’s launch of the NIH Preprint Pilot: A New Experiment for a New Era to explore how inclusion of preprints in our literature resources, PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed, could accelerate the discoverability and maximize the impact of NIH-supported research. Preprints are complete, public drafts of scientific documents that are not yet peer reviewed. We are now expanding into a second phase of the pilot to i...
