Selecting an ELN to Maximize IP Protection
In the race to patent or publish in life sciences, time is critical. For any researcher, securing Intellectual Property (IP) is equally critical. In order to receive a patent on an invention, inventors must be able to document the work they did to prove that the invention substantially performs against the claim. Additionally, this proof must be corroborated by someone (e.g., custodian of records) not directly involved in the work. Effective documentation and corroboration of the work done on an invention is also necessary to protect IP against challenges to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and possible litigation from competing inventors.

An integrated data analytics platform
In this brief paper published in Frontiers in Marine Science, Armstrong et al. present the details of their OceanWorks integrated data analytics platform (IDAP) (which later was open sourced as the Apache Science Data Analytics Platform [SDAP]). Confronted with disparate data management solutions for performing research on oceanographic research data, the authors developed OceanWorks to provide an integrated platform capable of advanced data queries, data analysis, anomaly detection, data matching, data subsetting, and more. Since its creation, OceanWorks has been deployed in multiple NASA environments to handle a wide variety of data management tasks at various deployment intensities. They conclude that under its open-source SDAP iteration, the software platform will "continue to evolve and leverage any new open-source big data technology" in order "to deliver fast, web-accessible services for working with oceanographic measurements."

Over the last decade, various researchers have proposed numerous methods for improving the security and privacy of critical data on virtual machines hosted on remote cloud servers, particularly when mobile applications are involved. Annane and Ghazali review those research efforts in this 2019 paper published in the International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies and detail the various gaps in that research. After carefully looking at the strengths and drawbacks of numerous techniques, the authors additionally propose the three biggest challenges not well addressed in that research: scalability, credibility, and robust communication techniques. They also suggest future research that will address "three secure policies to protect users' sensitive data against co-resident and hypervisor attacks, as well as preserve the communication of users' sensitive data when deployed on a different cloud host."
