Fall 2022 Research Data Management Seminar Series

Creating and locating robust protocols and methods can save you a couple of weeks in the lab. Need to know how to do Optogenetic manipulation of neural activity in freely moving Caenorhabditis elegans? Improve your efficiency by learning strategies for finding published research protocols and methods. This session introduces attendees to protocol resources that support bioscience bench research.

Part 1: Getting Credit/Recognition with protocols.io
Gabriel Gasque, PhD, Head of Outreach, protocols.io

protocols.io is a platform for the collaborative development, optimization, and open-access publication of detailed, interactive, and dynamic step-by-step experimental protocols. Published, stand-alone protocols receive a DOI and are thus citable objects, paving the way for discoverability and recognition.

Part 2: Reproducible Research at the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology
Sarah Arena, Data Manager, Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science (HiTS), Harvard Medical School
Ben Gaudio, Research Technician, Harvard Program for Therapeutics Sciences (HiTS), Harvard Medical School

Learn how the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology has been leveraging protocols.io for cancer research and the Human Tumor Atlas Network Consortium, and other microcopy-based research, including giving credit to authors, providing centralized information, and facilitating scientific collaborations.
