My lab group is in the process of writing up a series of manuscripts that we intend to submit to scientific journals. This entails many different studies asking different questions but using the same set of study streams and a unified sampling procedure.
I am considering writing up a description of our methods and posting it on the eCommons at my university, then citing it in our papers. I would not eliminate the regular methods section in each paper, but instead would have a citation to an online document with a richer discussion of what we did.
Does this seem like a good idea? Would it be better to try and get this document into one of the peer reviewed articles as a supplement? One thing I worry about is having it stuck behind a pay wall.
