Scope

Bio-protocol publishes high quality, step-by-step, peer-reviewed protocols in any area of life sciences, including but not limited to biochemistry, cancer biology, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, neuroscience, plant science, stem cell biology, and systems biology. The basic criteria for considering protocols are whether (1) the protocol has been validated by its use in a research article (peer-reviewed or preprint) or by data provided in the validation section of the protocol; (2) versions published in research papers do not provide sufficient detail to enable novices with only limited supervision to properly execute the experiment; and (3) the protocol will be of value to others in the life science research community. To limit redundancy, Bio-protocol avoids publishing protocols already detailed in previous bio-protocols or in other protocol journals, unless there are significant differences that justify the duplication (e.g., application to a new species, organ, or tissue; different types of optimizations to the process; or lack of detail in the already published version). Articles in Bio-protocol are updatable by authors. Readers are encouraged to post their reproducibility feedback via "Share your feedback." Extensive modifications to existing bio-protocols can also be published as adapted versions and will be linked to the original protocol. Protocols are published in online issues twice a month, on the 5th and the 20th. Join the conversation about this journal
Quartiles

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
