research protocols

Investigation method standards

Research protocols are formal plans outlining how a study or investigation will be conducted.

They specify methods, procedures, safety measures, and criteria for participants or data collection.

In scientific and medical contexts, protocols ensure consistency and reproducibility: The clinical trial followed strict research protocols.

Institutional review boards typically approve protocols before studies begin.
