What's coming soon in Current Protocols?

We’re excited to share some upcoming changes to the platform, resulting in a sleeker look and improved navigation experience for readers.

Some recent changes you may have already seen include:

• All Current Protocols content can now be browsed by ‘subjects’, and ‘techniques’ in addition to searching within distinct Current Protocols titles
• Search results can now be filtered by subject and technique
• “Topics” have been renamed to “Collections” for a more consistent experience
• The creation of distinct entries for each collection, including “first published” and “last updated” dates 
• The ability to host and search for Virtual Issue Collections at Current Protocols title-level, including descriptive summaries

Upcoming changes include: 

• Small changes to Current Protocols title-level pages including moving title descriptions further down the page
• Simpler browsing for on-demand and upcoming Current Protocols events

These changes will not disrupt access for Current Protocols users.

Key changes for librarians:

These enhancements do mean some minor changes to the technical set up for Current Protocols:  

• Self-hosted EZproxy libraries should make sure the lines HJ currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com and HJ https://currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com are included in their stanzas.
• Knowledgebases and link resolvers have been made aware of the title consolidation.  The new title, Current Protocols, contains protocols across all subjects from 2021 onwards.
• Individual titles will no longer be reflected in the journal COUNTER reports. Usage statistics will be consolidated into a single title, called Current Protocols (ISSN:  2691-1299).
