Coffee Lecture Slides: eLabFTW.hs-itz.de – an Electronic Lab Notebook for Thuringian Research Groups

Abstract

Elektronische Laborjournale (ELNs) haben sich zu unverzichtbaren Werkzeugen in der modernen Forschung entwickelt und beeinflussen maßgeblich, wie Daten und Metadaten während des gesamten Forschungsdatenlebenszyklus dokumentiert, verwaltet und ausgetauscht werden. Durch die strukturierte, standardisierte und konsistente Erfassung von Metadaten ab Beginn der Datengenerierung verbessern ELNs die Qualität der Metadaten erheblich. Ihre digitale Natur erleichtert nicht nur die Datensicherung und Zusammenarbeit, sondern ermöglicht auch das Erkennen neuer Verbindungen zwischen den Datensätzen, was die Wiederverwendung von Daten fördert. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Thüringer Kompetenznetzwerk Forschungsdatenmanagement (TKFDM) und dem Kompetenzzentrum Digitale Forschung (Zedif) betreibt das IT-Zentrum der Thüringer Hochschulen (HS-ITZ) eine gemeinsame Instanz des generischen ELN eLabFTW, die von Forschungsgruppen aus Thüringer Universitäten und Fachhochschulen genutzt werden kann. In dieser Coffee Lecture gaben die TKFDM-Data Stewards eine kurze Einführung in die Forschungsdokumentation mit eLabFTW und stellten die Rahmenbedingungen der gemeinsamen Instanz vor.

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have emerged as vital tools in modern research, significantly impacting how data and metadata are documented, managed, and shared throughout the research data life cycle. By enabling structured, standardized, and consistent metadata collection from the start of data generation, ELNs notably improve the metadata quality. Their digital nature not only eases backup and collaboration but also enhances the discoverability of new connections across datasets, which encourages data reuse. In collaboration with the Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management (TKFDM) and the Competence Center Digital Research (Zedif), the IT Center of Thuringian universities (HS-ITZ) operates a shared instance of the generic ELN eLabFTW that can be used by research groups from Thuringian universities and universities of applied sciences. In this coffee lecture, the TKFDM Data Stewards gave a brief introduction to research documentation with eLabFTW and presented the framework conditions of the Thuringian-wide instance.

Slides from an online coffee lecture introducing the Thuringian-wide instance of the electronic lab notebook eLabFTW to research groups at Thuringian universities and universities of applied sciences. A recording of this presentation has been published on Youtube.
