With data being the most valuable output of a laboratory, scientific teams are now implementing effective practices to collect, store, and manage data using laboratory information management systems (LIMS). However, when scientists work in controlled environments, it can be challenging to use a tablet or a laptop to digitally record results or observations while striving to maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs).

In this 2021 article published in the journal
Information, Alruwaili presents their framework "for better and more secure evidence preservation and handling" in digital forensics: CustodyBlock. Noting the importance of evidence management and the complexities that come with it, the author's framework turns to "private blockchain protocol and smart contracts to support the control, transfer, analysis, and preservation monitoring of forensic evidence." After discussing the related research and justification for such a framework, Alruwaili briefly covers research methodology, digital evidence custody, and the architecture and algorithm for their framework. After a brief discussion of the results, the author concludes that the framework demonstrates strong protection of the evidence chain and a more robust handling methodology, with the potential to handle information beyond that of digital forensics.

In today’s data-driven world, scientific laboratories are in a constant race to enhance their productivity while keeping up with ongoing changes in their laboratory data management needs. In order to face these challenges, organizations must determine the type of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that is most suitable for their lab and most closely oriented to the goals of their business. When installing LIMS, one of the most crucial decisions to be made is how to host the system...

Continuing from last week's theme of agriculture data management, this week's journal article from Wong
et al. examines the need for consistent "minimum thresholds" for FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable) data in the agricultural research community. They discuss this in terms of their "community-governed federation approach" called AgReFed (Agricultural Research Federation), which has been piloted since 2018. Using a variety of datasets and research use cases, the authors go on to discuss their methodology for developing and testing FAIR thresholds in their pilot community, as well their governance and implementation. The authors close out their work by discussing the benefits of the approach to founding partners, including "being an exemplar of FAIR best practice at the institutional level, making access and re-use easier for end-users, and being able to combine data types for research insights." Data providers "benefited from metadata guidance through education resources, library, and licensing support." However, the authors note that expansion of such a framework to other coops, corporations, etc. understandably may require additional incentivization.
