Introducing Protocols.io: Your open-access hub for collaborative protocol development
❗️You must be connected to a WashU network such as WUSM-Secure to access these links.
Welcome to protocols.io, your go-to platform for researchers to collaboratively craft detailed, interactive, and adaptive protocols that seamlessly function on mobile and web platforms. With protocols.io, researchers can effortlessly share their protocols with peers, collaborators, and the broader scientific community or even make them public, streamlining the process for enhanced efficiency.
This platform fosters real-time communication and interaction, ensuring protocols remain up-to-date through features such as version control, forking and copying, a robust Q&A system, and dedicated troubleshooting resources. Furthermore, publicly shared protocols are equipped with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), enabling open and efficient communication between authors and fellow researchers, thereby promoting productive experimentation and the crucial aspect of reproducibility.
Private & secure collaboration w/ HIPAA compliance, audit trail, approval/signature (21 CFR Part 11), 2-factor authentication, encryption, VPC, and more.
