Springer Protocols is a
database of
life sciences protocols published by
Springer Science+Business Media. These "recipes" allow scientists to recreate experiments in their own laboratory. Springer Protocols contains more than 33,000 protocols, most of which are derived from the book series
Methods in Molecular Biology, published under the
Humana Press imprint. That book series, edited by
John M. Walker since 1984, contains more than 1,100 volumes and has spawned several related book series.
Springer Protocols replaced
BioMed Protocols, a Humana Press database, in January 2008.
