Cross-Disciplinary Electronic Lab Notebooks

While specific electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) serve the needs of particular types of scientists due to their task-specific tools, they may hinder the sharing and protection of knowledge on an organizational scale and, in the long run, are likely to cost more to maintain.

In this whitepaper, Cross-Disciplinary Electronic Lab Notebooks, we explore the main differences between conventional ELN platforms and those that provide the necessary flexibility and extensibility to make data available to other researchers and decision-makers across disciplines throughout a project team, department or organization.
