We suggest you use the free tool Zenodo for creating a doi for your protocol. This will allow others to cite your protocol independently from other work in the study, and add contributors who may not be named elsewhere.
If you are using the protocols datbase to track changes made to your protocol while pilotting, you can amend the entry and create different version which can be reviewed at any point.
You can track how many times your protocol has been viewed and downloaded from the `Engagement Statistics` panel. Views and downloads are separated into internal to Oxford (where the user has logged in with an SSO) or external. When reporting on the impact of your entry, remember to also include the zenodo download and view statistics, if you used zenodo to create a doi.
The MR protocol database has been developed to share MR protocols internally across WIN as well as externally. The database provides access to standard protocols and to the latest experimental protocols uploaded by WIN members. The database facilitates sharing your MR sequence with your and other research groups and helps you to keep track of updates via version control. Each deposited protocol contains all information necessary to reproduce that sequence on an appropriately licensed scanner, allowing yourself and others to have a permanent and full record of your data acquisition methodology.
