What Are Electronic Lab Notebooks? Understanding ELN Solutions
In the competitive world of scientific innovation, Research & Development (R&D) teams are tasked with overseeing the organization’s most complex, time-consuming, and expensive business units. The process of discovery—achieving that “Eureka!” moment upon a scientific breakthrough—requires a mix of art and structure.
R&D experiments are frequently conceptualized through free form thinking and creativity, in combination with systematized scientific protocols. Perhaps the most essential piece in R&D is meticulous documentation of all this experiment data—capturing both the experiment ideation and standard processes necessary to recreate the experiment.
Yet, from Mesopotamia to the modern age, how we document science hasn’t changed all that much.
