Introduction to Protocols.io

Research papers and protocol organization in labs often lack detailed instructions for repeating experiments. Princeton University Library has a instutional membership to protocols.io, an open-access platform for researchers to collaboratively create step-by-step, interactive, and dynamic protocols that can be run on mobile or web. Researchers can share protocols with colleagues, collaborators, the scientific community or make them public, with ease and efficiency. Real-time communication and interaction keep protocols up to date with versioning, forking/copying, Q&A, and troubleshooting. Public protocols receive a DOI (digital object identifier) and allow open communication with authors and researchers to encourage efficient experimentation and reproducibility.

This 45-minute workshop will cover:

Introduction to protocols.io’s mission and key functionality

How to discover public protocols, create your own protocols, share methods with others, and how to publish protocols

Q&A: We will stay online to answer any questions you have while you start to use protocols.io.

Hosted by Gabriel Gasque, protocols.io

To register: https://www.protocols.io/webinars/introduction-to-protocols.io-americas-...

Princeton University students, faculty, and staff now have access to free premium accounts on protocols.io, an open-access repository of step-by-step, detailed protocols and methods for researchers across multiple disciplines, particularly those in the sciences and engineering.

Protocols.io allows Princeton researchers to create, manage, and share their research protocols and methods with other users on the platform, making them freely available for other scholars and improving reproducibility across the field. Users may also choose to keep their research private.

Plaster Casting Workshop

PUL Makerspace, Lewis Science Library

This workshop will introduce participants to the alginate method of casting, including material preparation, material mixing, and application. Students will have the opportunity to create casts of their own hands and use 3D printed molds! Bring a friend.

Data Stewardship series: Documentation & Metadata

Engineering Library

Though the concepts behind good documentation are straightforward (perhaps with the exception of some fields with detailed standards), it is a common issue across research domains that documentation for shared data is absent or lacking. In this workshop, we will outline the fundamental elements of good data documentation (including standardized metadata), explain the principles behind the recommended practices, and prepare you to streamline your own processes of data documentation.

The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.
