CMU Partners with protocols.io to Enable Scientific Practices Sharing

Carnegie Mellon University Libraries has announced its partnership with protocols.io, an open access service for academic and industry scientists to record and share detailed up-to-date protocols for research. With this announcement, Carnegie Mellon becomes the first institution to partner with protocols.io on an institutional license. The license will provide the Carnegie Mellon community with free access to premium accounts. Users can now create an account or sign in with their CMU email at www.protocols.io/universities/cmu. "This partnership will support transparent and reproducible research at CMU" said Ana Van Gulick, a CMU librarian and program director for Open Science. "As an open access methods repository, protocols.io facilitates open science best practices including research documentation, collaboration, and replication." Open access is a priority for Carnegie Mellon, benefiting researchers in their dual roles as authors and readers. protocols.io joins a suite of tools and service offerings at the libraries that support the university's commitment to open access.
