One of the barriers to reproducibility of research is the lack of detailed methods in published articles and in the lab environment. Open sharing of research protocols improves replication by making research processes accessible, dynamic, and open to discussion, modification, and optimization. Learn how protocol sharing meets openness and transparency guidelines such as TOP (Transparency and Openness Promotion) and Good Laboratory Practice. 

Learning Objectives 

By the end of this workshop, learners will be able to:

• Define the benefits of making research protocols open
• Prepare, share, and modify a research protocol
• Identify guidelines and best practices for research methods and protocols

Instructor: Lenny Teytelman, PhD, CEO protocols.io
