ICT Express, Huang
et al., associated with a variety of power research institutes in China, provide an overview of energy informatics and the standardization efforts that have occurred around it and the concept of the "smart grid." After describing the various energy systems, technical fundamentals, and standardization efforts, the group concludes that "[l]earning from the successful concepts and technologies pioneered by the internet, and establishing an open interconnection protocol are basic methods for the successful development of the future energy system." They also add that "[i]t is essential to build an intelligent information system (or platform) to promote the interoperability and coordination of different energy systems and [information and communication technology] planes."

This report shares the experience during selection, implementation and maintenance phases of an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) in a public–private partnership project and comments on users' feedback. In particular, we address which time constraints for roll-out of an ELN exist in granted projects and which benefits and/or restrictions come with out-of-the-box solutions. We discuss several options for the implementation of support functions and potential advantages of open-access solutions. Click Here to read the full journal article

The electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) is implemented in a wide variety of research environments, but what are the special requirements of a public-private partnership? In this 2016 paper published in
PeerJ Computer Science, members of the TRANSLOCATION consortium — "a multinational and multisite public–private partnership (PPP) with 15 academic partners, five pharmaceutical companies and seven small- and medium-sized enterprises" — carefully present the process they took in selecting, installing, supporting, and re-evaluating an ELN for their scientific research. The group concludes that selection, implementation, change management. user buy-in, and value-added ability are all vital to the adoption and use of an ELN in a PPP.

Journal of Medical Biochemistry looks back on the benefits and errors associated with the implementation of a laboratory information system (LIS) in the Railway Healthcare Institute of Belgrade, Serbia. Author Vera Lukić explains how their first implementation went wrong and how a new LIS quickly helped improve the workflow of Railway's lab. Lukić finds that for them system flexibility and the ability to customize to user needs was most important in their implementation. He concludes that their LIS benefited them through the "increased pace of patient admission, prevention of sample identification errors, prevention of test translation errors, permanent results storage in electronic form, prevention of billing errors, improved time savings and better staff organization," resulting in "a step forward towards optimization of the total testing process."
