Don't publish this type of thing unless it is contained in your article (for publication) because people will steal your ideas. Don't give people your intellectual property! :)

I publish protocols all the time. It does not give away my IP, and copycatters don't have the time to "steal an idea" in this case.

PLOS One is, so far, the only journal moving in this direction.

That is a nice journal for presenting new methods, but this is not the same thing as a study protocol. So I am using language that is not clear, obviously. I'm sorry.

Let us define a "study protocol" as the set of instructions that stipulates how an scientific experiment is to be performed. It usually involves hypothesis testing, power analysis, a description of the variables involved and a statistical analysis plan.

Let us define a "method" as a guide to the correct generation of data or the correct way to perform an assessment. An SOP for DNA extraction would be a method.

I am interested in publishing study protocols, which is a common event in medicine (see the journal "Trials"). PLOS One allows the publication of study protocols in all domains, and I am looking for additional journals that also allow this (and specifically for Integrative Biology).
