Both publications point to the same constraint:
Peer review expectations can undermine efforts to reduce animal use.
Addressing animal methods bias is key to removing this barrier.

How ‘animal methods bias’ is affecting research careers
Some early-career researchers report feeling pressure to use animal models to meet journal and grant requirements, even in disciplines and projects that don’t require them.
