Author checklists

Fillable ARRIVE 2.0 checklists allow researchers to indicate the specific sections of a manuscript that contain information relating to each item of the guidelines.

Some journals request that authors submit a completed ARRIVE checklist with their manuscript. This helps rapidly identify when crucial information is missing from a manuscript. This benefits authors but also editors, journal staff and reviewers. 

To tailor specific journal requirements, checklists are available for the ARRIVE Essential 10 and for the full ARRIVE guidelines.

NOTE: Please ensure that you save the PDF locally on your machine before you fill in the table, DO NOT work on the file within your internet browser as the changes will not be saved. Completion of the checklist using of Adobe Acrobat Reader (available as a free download) is recommended. If you experience any issues with these checklists, please report these to arrive@nc3rs.org.uk.
