For this activity, you will look at different open protocols on the sharing platform, https://www.protocols.io/. Protocols.io is a “platform for developing and sharing reproducible methods”.
Navigate the protocols.io website to locate publicly available protocols. For information on how to navigate the website, visit their FAQ page.
Identify several examples of protocols that are explicitly designated as “open” or have broad sharing permissions. Optional: watch this Open UBC event, Making Methods Move: Toward Protocol Sharing Across the Disciplines, with Marcel LaFlamme on sharing open protocols.
Consider the potential benefits and challenges of using and adapting open protocols in research.
