Protocols.io is an open access platform for the creation and sharing of detailed methods and protocols. Features of protocols.io include:

Share methods before, during and after publication
Citable; add DOI to manuscripts
Versioning: protocols can be kept up-to-date
Run protocols step-by-step in a browser or mobile
Open access platform
Forking, versioning, and commenting features
Archived in CLOCKSS

UC researchers currently have access to the Premium features during the three-year pilot period (from June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2022). Premium features include private collaboration around method development and use in classrooms. In the long term, this initiative should also increase the reproducibility and rigor of the research published by UC academics. Use your UCI email when logging in to access these features.
