HeFDI Data Talk: Electronic Lab Notebooks. An Introduction using the Example of eLabFTW - 17.11.2023

The presentation slides of a previous talk on this topic are published on Zenodo under: https://zenodo.org/records/7006964

Lab books are part of everyday research: this is where measurement results, sketches of experimental set-ups, observations or evaluations end up. But what happens when these data are increasingly digital? Should they be printed out and pasted in - or is there a better solution? This is where electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) come in. Using the example of elabFTW (https://www.elabftw.net), we will look at how ELNs can replace the classic paper lab book and what other possibilities they offer.

The HeFDI Data Talks (https://t1p.de/hefdi-data-talks-2024) are a bi-weekly open information and discussion event on the topic of data management in the context of science, at which relevant NFDI consortia and research data management services present themselves. Current topics are discussed in the series and numerous tools and services, including local and regional ones, are presented. The HeFDI Data Talks are an offer of the state initiative HeFDI, which is funded by the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art and Culture (HMWK).

If you have any suggestions or feedback on the topics, please contact the HeFDI office ([email protected]). If you would like to be regularly informed about our offers and events, you are welcome to subscribe to our newsletter (https://t1p.de/bgkfl)!
