What are the advantages and disadvantages of currently available hardware and software? What do you look for in evaluating systems? Is there an ideal electronic notebook system that might someday be ...

Scientists have long depended on pen and paper to record their observations, filling volumes of lab notebooks with their work. While Charles Darwin’s drawings and diagrams or Albert Einstein’s ...

Research shows that 77 percent of lab professionals now use public AI tools alongside their ELN. For many, this is not driven by policy decisions, but by necessity. Governed tools do not yet support ...

I use a Tablet PC and Onenote for lecture notes which has worked really well. Normally I use a composition notebook since they can't be modified without being fairly obvious. I would like to use the ...

This year in the advanced physics course I teach, I wanted to broaden student exposure to lab notebook keeping methods. Students could keep lab notebooks on traditional carbon copy paper, or they ...

Laboratory notebooks are essential components of the scientific process because they allow researchers to record hypotheses, methods, results, and analyses. They also serve as organizational tools and ...

The use of electronic laboratory notebooks should be supported by all concerned. Too often when errors or cases of fraud occur in science, the lab data required to reconstruct what happened have gone ...

Laboratory notebooks contain a literal wealth of information to advance research enterprise-wide, to protect and support patents, and to streamline the regulatory submissions process—if only they ...

Erin Bedford is a PhD student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo and in Chemistry at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI) in a co-supervised program. I’ve always had a ...
