Springer Releases Searchable Online Protocols
Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) has announced the release of Springer Protocols, a protocol database of more than 18,000 searchable online protocols in life sciences and biomedicine (www.springerprotocols.com). The protocols provide step-by-step "recipes" that can be executed in a controlled laboratory environment. Springer Protocols is a subscription product published under the Humana Press imprint.Used primarily in the life sciences, protocols provide instructions for the design and implementation of experiments that include the safety bias, procedural equipment, statistical methods, reporting, and troubleshooting standards for the experiment. The Protocols are organized into 15 subject collections. Springer Protocols leverage 25 years of protocols content compiled by Humana Press and formerly marketed as "BioMed Protocols." BioMed Protocols form the basis of Springer Protocols, but the new product includes not only much more content but also new technological developments and many additional features. Each year, more than 2,000 Springer protocols, of which 1,000 are updates of existing protocols, will be loaded. As with other Springer eproducts, no special software is needed and there is no limit to concurrent user access within an institution to subscribed content. All content is accessible using an internet browser and Adobe Reader. Source: Springer Science+Business Media
