“We require our grantees to contribute to open science in several ways, including:

• Depositing software code to an open repository such as GitHub;
• Submitting results to open-access preprint servers like bioRxiv upon submission to a peer-reviewed journal, if not earlier;
• Making experimental protocols openly accessible….”

These challenges helped us identify a new technology platform for developing and sharing protocols. Protocols.io is an open access resource that allows researchers to discover and share up-to-date science methods, similar to the way code can be shared on GitHub. …”
