Electronic Lab Notebooks in Teaching and Implications on Science — •Michael Krieger — Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Physik, Department Physik, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)

In our department, we have recently introduced Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN) in the obligatory electronic lab course in the 4th semester of the physics curriculum. Immediate advantages for the students are obvious: all data, raw data and metadata including experiment description and experimental observations, are digitally stored at the same place. Moreover, student teams share and actively work in their group ELN with access at the university as well as at home, and script-based evaluations can be performed directly in the ELN.

The introduction of ELNs in teaching has also implications on science. Students carry their ELN experience and data competences into all research groups. There, however, modern research data management is much more complex. According to the FAIR principles, it requires structured, machine-readable data using open formats and vocabularies that meet community standards. The development of such standards is in many cases still to be done and is the core of the Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI). Here, ELNs in teaching provide a sandbox with short learning and innovation cycles for testing structured schemas. The experience helps to develop and establish sustainable and FAIR documentation of research workflows in science.
