I would like to introduce you to the Protocol Exchange!

The Protocols Network has been re-launched as the Protocol Exchange; and it is looking rather beautiful!

It is an open 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. Protocols can be linked to any publications in which they are used and will be linked to from your article. You can also establish a dedicated page to collect all your lab Protocols. By uploading your Protocols to Protocol Exchange, you are enabling researchers to more readily reproduce or adapt the methodology you use, as well as increasing the visibility of your protocols and papers. Upload your Protocols at www.nature.com/protocolexchange/. Further information can be found at www.nature.com/protocolexchange/about.

I have written a blogpost introducing Protocol Exchange Labgroups: http://blogs.nature.com/natprot/2011/05/13/an-introduction-to-lab-groups
