Protocols

BioTechniques recommends that authors submit concise, reproducible protocols to Protocols.io. An example of such a protocol can be found here.

A digital object identifier (DOI) can be assigned to the protocol as a permanent link to the method. This DOI can then be included in the methods section of your BioTechniques article, cited and be made available in the reference list of the manuscript.

Protocols can only be considered for publication as part of a Reports or Benchmark article. These articles should contextualize the protocol, with structured sections detailing its background, results, applications and limitations.

BioTechniques requests that authors add their protocol to the BioTechniques collection when prompted. Protocols.io links to BioTechniques publications will resolve on publication.

For guidance on publishing a protocol on Protocols.io, please refer to the instructions here. For further information on article requirements before submission, please refer to the Author Guidelines below.
