Overview

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). Please register below.

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

Instructor Bio

Lenny has over a decade of computational and experimental biology experience. He did his graduate studies at UC Berkeley, and it was his struggle with correcting a published research method as a postdoc at MIT that led him to cofound protocols.io. Lenny brings to protocols.io a strong passion for open access, sharing knowledge, and improving research efficiency through technology.
