在开始动物实验之前收集和分析所有可用的文献是很重要的，这在撰写动物研究的系统综述（SR）时是必不可少的。撰写这样的审查可以防止不必要的重复动物研究，从而避免不必要的动物使用（减少）。目前，在实验动物科学中，阻碍“高质量”研究报告产生的因素之一是，查找所有有关动物实验的可用文献相当困难。为了减少这些困难，我们为PubMed开发了一个搜索过滤器来检测所有有关动物研究的出版物。将此过滤器与最常用的方法PubMed Limit: Animals进行比较，并通过执行两次PubMed主题搜索进一步验证。我们的过滤器比PubMed的限制要好得多：它平均多检索7%的记录。我们的过滤器的其他重要优点是，它也可以找到最近的记录，它很容易使用。总而言之，通过在PubMed中使用我们的搜索过滤器，可以很容易地找到和评估所有关于特定主题的动物研究的可用文献，这将有助于提高科学质量，从而提高动物实验的伦理有效性。
Collecting and analysing all available literature before starting an animal experiment is important and it is indispensable when writing a systematic review (SR) of animal research. Writing such review prevents unnecessary duplication of animal studies and thus unnecessary animal use (Reduction). One of the factors currently impeding the production of ‘high-quality’ SRs in laboratory animal science is the fact that searching for all available literature concerning animal experimentation is rather difficult. In order to diminish these difficulties, we developed a search filter for PubMed to detect all publications concerning animal studies. This filter was compared with the method most frequently used, the PubMed Limit: Animals, and validated further by performing two PubMed topic searches. Our filter performs much better than the PubMed limit: it retrieves, on average, 7% more records. Other important advantages of our filter are that it also finds the most recent records and that it is easy to use. All in all, by using our search filter in PubMed, all available literature concerning animal studies on a specific topic can easily be found and assessed, which will help in increasing the scientific quality and thereby the ethical validity of animal experiments.
