Have you ever tried to make sense of your collaborators’ notes or even your own after 5 years? Did you ever have trouble finding the exact information about the processing and analyses of your sample, especially at short notice?
As researchers we know, that keeping track of all the steps in our scientific work including processing, analysis, evaluation and so on is essential. We aim at documenting our work in a way that others - including our future self - can make sense of it. But often we lack the time and sometimes also the knowledge to do it properly. Thus, too often, we end up publishing results in a way that doesn’t (completely) comply with modern requirements of sustainable research publication.
The newly developed Electroning Lab Notebook (ELN) for the HIF was implemented to help you with the organisation of your samples. You can use it to register samples and connect all the information you like with the registered samples. Further on you can use it to file prepartion requests electronically and thus provide all the necessary information to the preparation lab in a much shorter time.
In this short course we will discuss the necessity for the electronic documentation of your work. Also we will show you how to register samples in the ELN and start preparation requests.
The course will run for two ours with roughly one hour of theory and one hour of hands-on training. There will be a limited number of seats for in-person participation (register here for in-person participation: https://events.hifis.net/event/1860/). More people can join online.
