Abstract: In 2018, the first registry dedicated to preregistration of animal study protocols was launched. Despite international support, the overall number of (pre)registered protocols is still low, illustrating the need for pushing the preregistration agenda among researchers and policymakers.This Community Page article presents a 3-year evaluation of the first platform dedicated to preregistration of animal studies, www.preclinicaltrials.eu, and comparable platforms, encouraging the scientific community to embrace preregistration in a move towards more effective animal research.
