'''''Nature Protocols''''', published by the [[Nature Publishing Group]], is an on-line [[scientific journal]] publishing methods in a recipe-style format. The journal was launched in June 2006 and the content includes both classical methods and cutting-edge techniques relevant to the study of biological problems. The content on this site is divided into ‘Nature Protocols’ and ‘Protocols Network’. ‘Nature Protocols’ are commissioned by editors and are peer reviewed, fully edited and styled prior to publication. Community and Supplier Protocols (within the ‘Protocols Network’) are uploaded by researchers and are not further styled, peer reviewed or copy edited, but posted live soon after submission. This includes many of the protocols used by recent Nature and Nature Research Journal authors.

Scientists can participate directly in the Protocols Network section of this site by uploading their laboratory's methods or commenting on published protocols. This content is freely available.

The [[International Standard Serial Number]] ([[ISSN]]) for ''Nature Protocols'' is 1754-2189, and the electronic international standard serial number (EISSN) is 1750-2799.

Dec 1, 2010</ref> all content from the Protocols Network was transferred to the Exchange. It is an open-access, online resource that allows researchers to share their detailed experimental know-how. All uploaded protocols are made freely available, assigned DOIs for ease of citation and fully searchable through nature.com. These protocols are not further styled, peer-reviewed or copy edited, but posted live soon after submission. Protocols can be linked to any publications in which they are used.

Nature Protocols, published by the Nature Publishing Group, is an on-line scientific journal publishing methods in a recipe-style format. The journal was launched in June 2006 and the content includes both classical methods and cutting-edge techniques relevant to the study of biological problems. The content on this site is divided into "Nature Protocols" and the "Protocol Exchange".

Initially, all "Nature Protocols" were commissioned by editors, but it is now possible for authors to upload pre-submission enquiries. All Nature Protocols are peer-reviewed, fully edited and styled prior to publication. New protocols are added to the site on a weekly basis.

Published protocols[edit]

Published protocols are sorted into the following categories:

Participation[edit]

Scientists can participate directly in the Protocol Exchange section of this site. The Protocol Exchange replaced the Protocols Network in December 2010;[1] all content from the Protocols Network was transferred to the Exchange. It is an open-access, online resource that allows researchers to share their detailed experimental know-how. All uploaded protocols are made freely available, assigned DOIs for ease of citation and fully searchable through nature.com. These protocols are not further styled, peer-reviewed or copy edited, but posted live soon after submission. Protocols can be linked to any publications in which they are used. Each Lab Group can establish a dedicated page to collect their lab Protocols. By uploading Protocols to Protocol Exchange, scientists can enable other researchers to more readily reproduce or adapt the methodology they use, as well as increasing the visibility of their protocols and papers.[2][3]
