To achieve a successful outcome, the research process must take many steps from recording ideas and developing experiments, to tracking results and modifying approaches. The data recorded along the way needs to be recorded, analyzed and managed effectively for it to be of value. Many labs continue to perform research manually, however, which can lead to illegible data, transcription errors and poorly maintained or lost paper notebooks.
This Biovia white paper explains how electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) offer centralized, integrated and shareable research data, and provides a comprehensive comparison of paper lab notebooks versus ELNs.
It also offers an in-depth analysis of ELN costs, their financial benefits and ROI, and explores how ELN benefits can extend across a product’s lifecycle. The report explores the role of ELNs in offering enhanced knowledge management, as well as how they prevent duplicate experiments and assure IP protection.
