\"The ability to repeat a published experiment protocol is the foundation stone of laboratory science. It is widely accepted that for new knowledge to be published in a scientific journal the protocols used to derive that new knowledge must also be published. This is essential to validate that the process by which the knowledge was inferred was not flawed in any fundamental way, and to ensure that the result was not caused by some chance event. In order to repeat a protocol it must necessarily be described in sufficient and unambiguous detail to enable another agent (human or machine) to be able to replicate the original experiment actions<\/em>.\"

The following are good starting points if you are looking for lab protocols and methods:<\/p>\n\n

\n\t
Springer-Nature Experiments<\/a>
\n\tallows you to search over 65,000 protocols and methods from the publishers Nature <\/em><\/a>and Springer.<\/a><\/em> The Leddy Library subscribed to Springer Protocols 2008 until the end of 2015. You can use our ILL service<\/a> for those protocols that are not available to you.
\n\t <\/li>\n\t
Bio-Protocol<\/a>
\n\tis a non-profit, freely accessible, and peer-reviewed source of protocols in the life sciences associated with Science\/AAAS<\/em><\/a>. They also provide access to www.bio-101.org<\/a> for for basic protocols and www.bio-thing.com<\/a> for reviewed and validated reagents & equipment.
\n\t <\/li>\n\t
Sage Research Methods<\/a>
\n\ta collection of resources to answer your research methods and statistics questions. The site contains texts to help understand both qualitative and quantiative statistical methods, largely for the social sciences but also for some of the life sciences.
\n\t <\/li>\n\t
\n\t
individual journals in your specialty<\/em>
\n\tThere are several journals that specialize in publishing methods in the various sub-disciplines of the Life Sciences. Some of these journals including, Briefings in bioinformatics<\/a>, Methods<\/a>, Biological Procedures Online<\/a>, and Plants Methods<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t
<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
