Protocols.io
Protocols.io is an online platform for the creation, management, and sharing of research protocols or methods.
Users can create new protocols within the system or upload existing methods and digitise them. Those with access to a protocol can then update, annotate, or fork it so that it can be continually improved and developed.
Users can publish their protocols, making them freely available for others to use and cite or, with the enterprise version, keeping them private. The tool supports the Open Science/Open Research agenda by helping to ensure that methods used to produce data and publications are made available, assisting with reproducibility.
