Update 4th Dezember 2023: Yet another ELN
Herbie is an ELN developed at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. Herbie is aimed at the heterogeneous process chain of metallic biomaterials research, but due to its modular structure, it can be and is already being adapted to other fields of materials science.
With this latest addition, NFDI4Chem provides six ‘ELNs as a service’ for testing, namely: Chemotion, Herbie, eLabFTW, Scinote, openBIS and open eventory; helping researchers make an informed choice when selecting the ELN system best suited to their requirements.
The website https://demo.chemotion.scc.kit.edu/ provides a collection of test versions of various electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs). These test versions are of great value when it comes to choosing an optimal ELN solution for scientific laboratories.
The advantage of these trial ELNs is that they allow researchers and laboratory managers to test the different ELN systems and evaluate them for their specific needs. Ease of use, functionality and seamless integration into existing laboratory workflows can be tested.
A new addition is the ELN called OpenBIS. With this, five different ELNs are now available for testing, helping researchers make an informed choice when selecting the ELN system best suited to their requirements.
