jnar — Journal of Negative & Applied Results

Free tool · doc → protocol

Turn a methods PDF into a structured protocol.

Drop a paper's methods section, a Word doc, or lab notes. jnar extracts the steps, reagents, and figures into an editable, versionable protocol — in one step. Your first conversion is free.

Your file stays private. We don't publish it and don't train models on it.

What we extract

Structure, not a screenshot.

Steps

Each action becomes a numbered, editable step in order.

Reagents

Materials and quantities pulled into a structured list.

Figures

Referenced figures and images attached to the right steps.

Troubleshooting

Notes, cautions, and known pitfalls captured as their own objects.

How it works

Three steps to a living protocol.

No retyping, no reformatting. Upload once and start editing a real, versionable protocol.

Private. Not published. Not used to train models.
1
Upload your document

Drop a PDF, Word doc, or images of lab notes. Processing starts immediately.

2
Create a free account

While you sign up, the AI finishes structuring your protocol — no second wait.

3
Edit, version & publish

Open the structured result, refine it, and version it with full fix history.

Works with

Bring it in whatever form you have it.

paper.pdf
A published methods section

Paste or upload the methods from a paper and reconstruct the protocol behind it.

protocol.docx
A lab Word document

Your group's shared SOP becomes a structured, contributable protocol.

Photographed bench notes

Images of handwritten or printed notes are read and structured.

FAQ

Answers, first.

What file types can I upload?

PDF, Word documents (DOCX), and images such as photographed bench notes. jnar reads each format, extracts the steps, reagents, and figures, and structures them into an editable protocol.

What happens to the document I upload?

Your file stays private. We don't publish it, we don't share it, and we don't use it to train models. The AI extracts a structured protocol that only you can see and edit until you choose to publish.

Is the conversion free?

Your first AI doc→protocol conversion is on us — no card required. Paid plans begin when an organization has more than one member, or when you create protocols with AI beyond that first free conversion.

How accurate is the extraction?

The AI structures steps, reagents, and figures from your document, but it's a draft you review. You can edit every extracted step and reagent before versioning or publishing, so the final protocol is exactly what you intend.

Convert your first method, free.

It takes about a minute, and the result is yours to edit, version, and publish.
