Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) are digital tools that allow researchers to record, manage, and share their data and results in a secure and efficient way. The virtual roundtable discussion will cover various aspects of using ELNs in biomedical research, such as general best practices and use cases; specific considerations for technology transfer, records management, and pre-clinical studies; and protecting against allegations of scientific misconduct.
