Electronic laboratory notebooks for collaborative research

Abstract

The laboratory notebook is a vital tool in scientific research. It is the central repository of information about the reasoning and preparation behind experiments, about the analyses done to obtain results, and about plans for future research. The notebook captures the scientific process that gives meaning to a scientist's observations. Sharing a notebook can help collaborating researchers to build a common understanding of their work. Unfortunately, at modern research facilities, where collaborations may span the globe, providing remote researchers with access to a laboratory notebook becomes a difficult task.
