Description
The electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) Chemotion was developed to meet the specific needs of scientists in the field of chemistry regarding documentation, process description, and data analysis. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of many research groups in chemistry, various modules have been created in the past, enabling the use of the ELN in related fields and supporting interdisciplinary work far beyond chemistry. The greatest challenge in developing these modules, which extend beyond the traditional applications of chemistry, lies in the standardization and structuring of new content. To achieve standardization and structuring, close collaboration between developers and domain experts is initially required, followed by implementation within the broader scientific community. This article presents highlights from recent months that exemplify the expansion of chemistry-specific software and infrastructure into related scientific disciplines and showcase opportunities for integrating custom content. Most of the developments are in use within the community of NFDI4Chem and could also offer benefits for scientists assigned to NFDI4Cat and DAPHNE4NFDI.
