Its purpose is to provide you with an understanding of how these technologies (Laboratory Information Management Systems, Electronic Laboratory Notebooks, Scientific Data…Open data: Accountability and transparency
In this brief commentary article, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's Matthew Mayernik discusses the concepts of "accountability" and "transparency" in regards to open data, conceptualizing open data "as the result of ongoing achievements, not one-time acts." In his conclusion, Mayernik notes that "good data management can happen even without sanctions," and that provision of access alone doesn't make something transparent, meaning that licenses and other complications make transparency difficult and require researchers "to account for changing expectations and requirements" of open data.

Recommended versus certified repositories: Mind the gap
The use of publicly available data repositories is increasingly encouraged by organizations handling academic researchers' publications. Funding agencies, data organizations, and academic publishers alike are providing their researchers with lists of recommended repositories, though many aren't certified (as little as six percent of recommended are certified). Husen et al. show that the landscape of recommended and certified data repositories is varied, and they conclude that "common ground for the standardization of data repository requirements" should be a common goal.

NOVEMBER 21, 2017, 16:00 (GMT +01:00): Stop Drowning in Paper! How Laboratory Information Management Systems Can Aid in your Data Integrity
Live Webinar - November 21, 2017 - 16:00 (GMT +01:00)
Manual processes created to ensure Data Integrity are onerous by placing large paperwork overheads on analysts. Working with hybrid systems forces laboratories to manage two incompatible media formats: paper and electronic records. This presentation will show you how a laboratory information management system (LIMS) can facilitate automation of your processes whilst ensuring the highest standard of Data Integrity. If a process is automated, validated, and transparent, it not only becomes more user-friendly - it also makes it easy for regulators to conduct audits.
iPlanner Module For Matrix Gemini LIMS Allows Optimisation Of Laboratory Instrument Usage
