protocols.io
Springer Natureâs protocols.io is an open repository for protocols, which is completely free to use for authors (no article-processing fee) and readers (no subscription fee). Authors upload protocols, which can then be posted publicly, and be assigned a DOI for citation purposes. They are then available under a CC-BY license. They are not peer-reviewed or edited but can be linked to any publications in which they are used protocols.io acts as a preprint server for protocols and sharing your protocols does not preclude publication in Nature Protocols should you wish to submit at a later date. Together Nature Protocols and protocols.io form an invaluable interactive resource for researchers.
