New! More Springer Protocols added to DiscoverEd

Leave a reply

Used primarily in the life sciences, protocols provide individual sets of instructions to allow scientists to recreate experiments in their own laboratories. These documents provide written procedural methods in the design and implementation of experiments that describe the safety, bias, procedures, equipment, statistical methods, reporting, and troubleshooting standards to be used in order to successfully conduct the experiment.

We have now purchased copyright year 2019.  These will be added to DiscoverEd for the remainder of the year. A title list is available from https://experiments.springernature.com/download-source-titles-list.

Further info

Springer Protocols can also be accessed at http://www.ezproxy.is.ed.ac.uk/login?url=https://experiments.springernature.com which will allow you to cross-search our other subscriptions from SpringerNature (Nature Protocols, Nature Methods) as well as the open access repository Protocol Exchange.

We have purchased over 800 new Springer Protocols – covering copyright years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.  These have been loaded to DiscoverEd in time for the new semester and for the remainder of 2018, we will continue to add newly published protocols.  A title list is available from https://experiments.springernature.com/download-source-titles-list.
