LabArchives Evaluation

Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) are tools for documenting the research process and may be useful for keeping track of research workflows and data in many disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences. One such application is LabArchives, a secure cloud-based ELN application that enables researchers to create, store, share and manage their research data.

LabArchives provides a flexible, extensible platform that can be customized to match a research lab’s workflow providing benefits to principal investigators, laboratory managers, research staff, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Researchers working outside of a traditional Principal Investigator (PI) led laboratory settings can still use the ELN.

The university's LabArchives evaluation includes the following products:

  • LabArchives ELN for Research - for research labs
  • LabArchives Inventory - to streamline the organization, tracking, and ordering of lab inventory
