About this Research Topic
Method articles should be highly informative and instructional, allowing other researchers to replicate the methodology in their own work. Authors should provide a comprehensive explanation of the materials, instruments, protocols, and analytical approaches used in their study. They may include specific details on how to set up experiments, collect data, analyze results, and interpret findings, ensuring transparency and reproducibility of the research. By sharing precise details about the methods employed, researchers can facilitate the replication and validation of their work by the scientific community. Method articles are valuable resources for scientists looking to adopt established techniques or modify existing methods for their own research projects.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of experimental pharmacology.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
Keywords: Methods, Experimental, Pharmacology, Protocols, Reviews, Techniques, Transparency, Reproducibilty
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
