Protocol development

Protocol development refers to the process of creating a formal plan or set of guidelines for conducting a particular task or study. It typically involves defining objectives, outlining procedures, and determining the necessary resources. In research, for example, a protocol ensures that studies are carried out systematically and ethically, providing clear instructions for researchers and ensuring consistency and reliability in results. Protocols are essential in various fields, including healthcare, environmental studies, and technology, as they help establish standards and improve communication among participants.
