“…Without context or knowledge of their meaning, though, these markers could leave readers uninformed. Of course, authors could also decide not to include the citations at all, treating knowledge gained by unethical means as pro tanto morally wrong (Tuvel, 2015), but this approach is also fraught. Human medical researchers have debated the ethics of citing experiments that were not simply unethical but are bywords for horror, in particular the work of Nazi scientists (Moe, 1984; Cohen, 1990).…”

Modern behavioural scientists have come to acknowledge that individual animals may respond differently to the same stimuli and that the quality of welfare and lived experience can affect behavioural responses. However, much of the foundational research in behavioural science lacked awareness of the effect of both welfare and individuality on data, bringing their results into question. This oversight is rarely addressed when citing seminal works as their findings are considered crucial to our understanding of animal behaviour. The purpose of this review is threefold: First, we critique seminal papers in animal behaviour as a model for re-examining past experiments, attending to gaps in knowledge or concern about how welfare may have affected results. Second, we propose a means to cite research in a way that is transparent and conscious of the abovementioned problems. Third, we propose a method of transparent reporting for future behaviour research that 1) improves replicability, 2) accounts for individuality of nonhuman participants, and 3) considers the impact of the animals' welfare on the validity of the science.With this combined approach, we aim to both improve the conversation surrounding behaviour scholarship while also serving to drive open engagement in future science.

“…A pesquisa laboratorial com uso de animais, denominada método original, tem sido utilizada para finalidades múltiplas: em testes de irritabilidade cosmética, para determinar toxicidade de pesticidas, em estudos de eficiência de novos medicamentos, para avaliação da potência de vacinas, testes de avaliação de produtos químicos, análise de saneantes, para certificação da qualidade de produtos biológicos, além de utilização no ensino universitário e em muitas outras aplicações (Cazarin et al, 2004, Stokes, 2015, Tuvel, 2015.…”

“…Um dos principais problemas apontados por diversos autores e que tem impactado negativamente o avanço da utilização de métodos alternativos é a lentidão e dificuldade da regulação e validação de metodologias pelos órgãos de governo do mundo todo (Nature, 2015, Tuvel, 2015, Myers et al, 2017, Casati et al, 2018.…”

Technology is changing rapidly, forcing organizations to adapt. Today's world provides rapid and wide dissemination of information and as a result, people become more aware of the impacts of humanity on other species and the planet. This trend also affects the scientific area, which is under pressure to end tests and laboratory experiments carried out on animals. In 1959, the concept of substitution tests, as alternatives to the use of animals, appears. Today, this concept is the basis for several alternative laboratory methodologies validated abroad and accepted in Brazil. Besides, many products tested and approved in different species are incapable of repeating their results in humans, losses in financial losses to the industry, damage to consumers' health, and the useless sacrifice of animals. In Brazil, the legislation of September 2019 imposing the adoption of 17 methodologies by all laboratories, forcing them to abandon or reduce the use of animals for some purposes. This study aims to determine the main barriers and the most relevant facilitators for research laboratories to abandon animal methods and adopt alternative methods. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews, based on factors that can act as facilitators and barriers to alternative methods adopting, from the literature on business administration and the laboratory. The professionals interviewed belong, in equal proportion, to private companies and public laboratories that carry out alternative methods that predict the effects of substances on ocular or skin tissue. Subsequently, results were qualitatively analyzed, and some of the collected data was submitted to non-parametric analysis to determine the agreement between responses from subgroups within the sample. The most important barriers to adopting alternative methods are the high costs and difficulty in validating these technologies. The most relevant enablers are the social pressure that affects the company's brand, the collaboration between institutions, and the speed of carrying out alternative methods. Among the subgroups of methodology users, there was a difference between the most important barriers and total agreement for the prominent facilitators. Among the subgroups of researchers from the private and public segments, there was disagreement regarding the most important barriers and partial agreement regarding the facilitators.
