SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTATION — ELECTRONIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS (ELNs)... 

Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) is a laboratory software for authoring, managing, and sharing electronic information for the purpose of scientific documentation. 

An electronic laboratory notebook system ( e-notebook or ELN ) addresses several different areas that impact upon scientific productivity, including time efficiencies and communication of information. 

Electronic laboratory notebooks (eLNB or ELN) have enormous potential. Not only can they be mined to explore precedents when searching for more sustainable reaction conditions, but they can be set up in such a way as to encourage the consideration of sustainability right from the planning...

In the ELN, the electronic scientific document serves the role of a conventional laboratory paper notebook It is a container for laboratory data bound by regulatory guidelines. As an electronic regulatory vehicle, the electronic scientific document must meet GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements mentioned earlier as well as the requirements governing paper laboratory notebooks. As a result, it must do the following ... 

The inbox concept is particularly interesting for documentation systems, like ELNs. According to paper laboratory notebook rules, a scientist is not permitted to write to another notebook besides his own. The same applies to ELN software An external system like an agent will not be able to insert data into an electronic scientific document without user interaction. The inbox plays here the role of a database cache in between an external system and the secured notebook database. The scientist can take a look at the inbox items and can decide which item he wants to insert into his document. 

Electronic Scientific Document is a concept of ELN software that serves the role of a container for documented laboratory data underlying the regulatory guidelines for paper laboratory notebooks.
