The Bio-protocol Advisory Board includes editors from some of our partner journals, as well as Bio-protocol reviewers and authors. Its mission is to guide Bio-protocol to best serve the life science research community and its mission of openly sharing experimentally validated and reproducible protocols. Bio-protocol staff meet with these advisors once or twice each year to discuss new initiatives and progress on existing initiatives, challenges faced by the journal, and the Bio-protocol business model. We also welcome feedback and suggestions from our advisors throughout the year.
