Chemistry ELNs (electronic lab notebooks) have been evolving for years, and are becoming widely deployed.  However, the structured format of the chemistry ELN does not satisfy the needs of other research groups.  We will present a simple, easy-to-use, web-based electronic laboratory notebook that contains interfaces for chemists, biologists and other scientific disciplines in a fully compliant environment with audit trails.  This is coupled with robust and flexible data searching capabilities that promote data sharing, collaboration, easy report generation and knowledge transfer.  The web-based interface and cloud-based deployment described facilitate secure global and mobile access from a variety of devices in the lab, at the desk, across research/partner sites or on-the-go, particularly as the paradigm of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) becomes more prevalent.

Factors to consider when choosing the right ELN for capturing and collaborating with your research data
