Online database of reproducible laboratory protocols in the biomedical and life sciences, spanning nearly thirty years.
Protocols provide individual sets of instructions to allow scientists to recreate experiments in their own laboratory. They are documents that provide predefined written procedural methods in the design and implementation of experiments that describe the safety, bias, procedural, equipment, statistical methods, reporting, and troubleshooting standards to be used to conduct the experiment.
Biology Methods & Protocols publishes primary research papers presenting or using new or improved methods in the biological sciences. It also publishes review papers devoted to methods used in the biological sciences.
The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes scholarly and original articles, notes and review articles reporting novel and/or state-of-the-art methods, or significant improvements to existing methods.
Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is an online journal publishing visualized (video-based) biological research studies. This publication aims to solve some of the most difficult problems in the contemporary life science research: low transparency and reproducibility of biological experiments, time-consuming learning of experimental techniques ... Video-based visualization of biological techniques and procedures provide an effective solution to the problem described.
Nature Protocols is an interactive online resource for experimental and laboratory protocols for bench researchers primarily in biology and chemistry. Protocols are presented in a 'recipe' style providing step-by-step descriptions of procedures that users can take to the lab bench and immediately apply in their own research. Protocols on the site are fully searchable and organized into logical categories to be easily accessible. Together, 'Nature Protocols' and the interactive 'Protocols Network' create a dynamic forum for scientists to upload and comment on protocols.
Journal articles
Scientists will report new protocols in journal articles alongside results or as standalone pieces. Add the words (protocol OR procedure) to your keyword search.
