Since October 2017, the Swiss funder SNSF requires a Data Management Plan (DMP). Transparency of animal experimentation for pre-clinical research should be maximal for better reproducibility, external validity, and the 3Rs application (Refine, Reduce, Replace animal experimentation).
Therefore, a pre-clinical DMP may include animal experimentation data types.The DMP document presents key elements that may be included by researchers in a hypothesis-driven pre-clinical study.
