About Springer Protocols

Introducing the world’s most comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed life sciences protocols.

What is a Protocol?

Protocols are “recipes” that researchers use to recreate experiments in the laboratory. They provide predefined written procedural methods in the design and implementation of experiments including bias, safety, equipment, statistical methods, reporting and troubleshooting.

Springer Protocols contains more than 18,000 molecular biology and biomedical protocols, many from the classic series Methods in Molecular Biology.

Researchers who use protocols want a quick and straightforward online resource they can trust, with the content back by excellent academic credentials. They want the information to be easy to access and practical to apply in the laboratory.

For decades, researchers relied on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology edited by John M. Walker. Dr. Walker was the first to introduce the step-by-step approach that has become standard throughout biomedical protocol publishing. Now, these indispensable “recipes” are available online. Other prestigious titles covered include:

• Methods in Molecular Medicine
• Methods in Biotechnology
• Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology
• Neuromethods
