Research finds scientists view ELNs as “glorified filing cabinets,” driving frustration, duplication and shadow AI use

New research: Only 5% of scientists can analyze data independently with current ELNs. Two-thirds repeat experiments because results are hard to find, while 45% turn to shadow AI for help. Traditional ELNs function like "glorified filing cabinets"—scientists want tools that actively support analysis, not just documentation. [Read More]

What Is a Digital Lab Notebook? (And Why Researchers Are Switching)

A digital lab notebook is purpose-built software for documenting research—not Word files or scanned pages. Researchers save 5-10 hours weekly with instant search, protocol templates, automatic backups, and seamless collaboration. Modern ELNs are web-based, intuitive, and often free. Find experiments in seconds instead of minutes. [Read More]
