Research papers and protocol organization in labs often lack detailed instructions for repeating experiments. protocols.io is an open-access platform for researchers to collaboratively create step-by-step, interactive, and dynamic protocols that can be run on mobile or web. Researchers can share protocols with colleagues, collaborators, and the scientific community or make them public easily and efficiently. Real-time communication and interaction keep protocols up to date with versioning, forking/copying, Q&A, and troubleshooting. Public protocols receive a DOI and allow open communication with authors and researchers to encourage efficient experimentation and reproducibility.
This 45-minute workshop will cover
- Introduction to protocols.io’s mission and key functionality
- How to discover public protocols, create your own protocols, share methods with others, and how to publish protocols
- Q&A: We will stay online to answer any questions you have while you start to use protocols.io.
