AB  - As research becomes predominantly digitalised, scientists have the option of usingelectronic laboratory notebooks to record and access entries. These systems can morereadily meet volume, complexity, accessibility and preservation requirements than papernotebooks. Whilst the technology can yield many benefits these can only be realised bychoosing a system that properly fulfils the requirements of a given context. This reviewexplores the factors that should be considered when introducing electronic laboratorynotebooks to an academically focused research group. We cite pertinent studies anddiscuss our own experience implementing a system within a multi-disciplinary researchenvironment. We also consider how the required financial and time investment is sharedbetween individuals and institutions. Finally, we discuss how electronic laboratory notebooksfit into the broader context of research data management. This article is not a productreview; it provides a framework for both the initial consideration of an electronic laboratorynotebook and the evaluation of specific software packages.
