Are subscription-based, or non-free, Electronic Lab Notebooks worth it? NIH is weighing options on which one to purchase, namely Labmatrix ( http://www.biofortis.com/product... ), Labtrack ( http://www.labtrack.com ), and Sparklix ( http://www.sparklix.com ).

I'm not sure I like the idea of paying, especially on a monthly basis for a subscription, once I have to foot the bill, and also if free cloud-based services exist and can do a half decent job... - Jason Snyder

I'm more worried about the NIH devoting itself to one provider... people should have the freedom to pick a ELN that suites them, and the organization should be careful not to fall for the Vendor Lockin trap... they should pick a provider that strongly supports Open Standards... - Egon Willighagen

Personally I would run screaming in the opposite direction at this point. Trying to standardise across the NIH with anything that describes itself as an ELN is very like to be a disaster IMO - Cameron Neylon from twhirl

data portability is the keystone for software selection, because however perfectly any program meets today's standards, in the future those requirements are sure to change - Mike Chelen

I May give ELNs a try, just to see what I'm missing, but you all bring up some key points that make them pretty unattractive. I think the take home message for me is to spend a few hours deciding how exactly to best organize my lab notebook. Currently, it's a mix of lab books, sheets of paper, google calendar, google notebook (which isn't even being maintained by google), and a bunch of files stored remotely via dropbox...all the info's there, just not so cohesive. - Jason Snyder

I've been working with a small outfit called BioKM to get them to support data portability and open standards, but so far I haven't been able to get much of a committment from them regarding how open data and data portability fits into their roadmap. Hopefully this thread will help them see the importance. (In case anyone's wondering, that's my strategy to get more support for open science - help the service providers get a clue about what customers want in this regard) - Mr. Gunn

Gunn: what do you recommend for data potability? XML maybe? We just released Samples (scimatic.com/samples) and I'd like to look into doing more in regards to data portability - Jamie McQuay from iPhone

I would have said XML some year ago, but now I'd say RDF using Open Specification namespaces, like FOAF, DOAP, Dublin Core, BIBO, ... - Egon Willighagen

Egon: thanks for the info, will be looking into more exportability in our next point release of Samples. - Jamie McQuay

+1 Egon, and thanks. RDF FTW I need to turn on comment notification or something. - Mr. Gunn

Followup the NIH evaluation process, recently the Scientific Directors have decided that each researcher is free to choose the electronic lab notebook that best suites their needs. During the committee evaluation, Sparklix e-Notebook received high praises for its ease of use, reach functionality and the included support. this electronic lab notbook is free, I would give it a try - http://www.sparklix.com/signup - Roi Paz

For the web page, you could create a page on github like Egon did: http://egonw.github.com . Establishing a web presence: blog your research and comment the other blog, Q&A sites etc... - Pierre Lindenbaum

I would suggest starting your own site. Github is a great option if you're a coder. Get on Biostar and similar sites. - Deepak Singh

So most labs have a lab website to which a student can add their own webpage. This gives the advantage of discovery from those coming to the lab page, and both the discovery advantage and the 'professional' look of a university url, but some of that becomes a disadvantage when the student moves on. Should new graduate students be buying a lifetime url for themselves? - Carl Boettiger

IMO anyyone interested in a professional career should. Good examples in addition to Egon's are Bosco Ho (http://boscoh.com/) and Neil/Pierre's blogs which highlight the things they are interested in. - Deepak Singh

My advice would be to buy your own domain and get a cheap webhost. You will be moving around often enough before you get a permanent job that putting your stuff into a university system is counterproductive, especially if they have a proprietary CMS. Put Wordpress on your domain because it is easy enough to use and can be used as a CMS and/or a blogging platform. Make sure that finding... more... - Matt Leifer

Agree with Matt and Deepak -- potential employers search using google. It is important that either the individual has crafted what people can find OR the individual isn't there at all. Not sure what will happen as long-term use emerges, and folks find pasts they wish not so obvious present when building a professional portfolio. - Mickey Schafer

The first advice should probably be to change their name to disassociate themselves from the drunk Facebook pictures and to pick a unique enough name... - Eric Jain

I started my website as a graduate student in the mid-90s on a university server. Towards the end of my PhD, 1999 I got my own domain, as it was clear I'd be moving institutes for the forthcoming years. Started a blog in 2003. I think today, a student only needs a blog, as any more permanent information can be linked as separate pages from that blog. - Björn Brembs

I had this discussion with students on the ESOF conference a while ago, here my recommendations I gave them ... Scientific presence - Never forget that it is about you - http://bit.ly/dqu84l #science #web #presence - - joergkurtwegner

@Carl - Lab pages are certainly a good temporary solution, and they do typically not ensure long-term stability. So, I would recommend another solution, and nowadays no one has to pay for a good long-term web presence. @Eric - Agreed - Name consistency and trust building are important, it is simple, people will find you anyway, so do not try masking anything, it will not work. Be honest! - joergkurtwegner

get your own site, most lab sites are unstable and really annoying to update. I think you have basically two options - make an online CV on steroids (link to papers/code/data/etc) or start a blog. however, starting a blog is trickier than it sounds. an abandoned half-assed blog is worse than no blog at all. honestly, it takes at least a few months before you find your voice. that said,... more... - Bosco Ho

I usually suggest to my students that create a FriendFeed account and start interacting with people in their field of interest. Later they can decide if it makes sense to start a blog, wiki, etc. - Jean-Claude Bradley

Isn't friendfeed too small? Twitter will have a much larger group in any discipline, though in 2010 blogging is not arcane so anyone can set up something good if they want to maintain it; it's just finding a theme you like and not expecting a million readers a month without some effort. - Science 2.0

This was discussed a lot at #solo10 - Its not necessarily hard to start a blog or sign up to a site like S3.0, and its not necessarily a problem if you say controversial things. Those who haven't become more aware of this new media science 2.0 approach tend to think that any time spent doing this kind of thing is time taken away from your work and so discourage it. So some people were saying that their PIs didnt understand. - science3point0

On the 'presence' aspect: Create/obtain as many inbound links as possible (assuming visibility is desirable) and keep your CV fresh. As for general content, keep it clean and uncontroversial -- wait till you have a career path before you start stuffing it up with self-indulgences (same goes for coffee break chat). If you must vent, do it anonymously, but be aware that any complaint... more... - Chris from twhirl

And I know that's at odds with the received opinion at SOLo10, but is even a 1% chance of harm worth it early in a career just to have a moan? - Chris from twhirl

The reason I suggested FF is that it is an almost effortless way to follow people's collection of feeds (blogs, slideshare, linkedin, scivee, etc) and conversations are more organized. Students can also start adding their own feeds to their FF account. Twitter can't do all of that. Of course they can also use Twitter and see how useful it is for their interests. - Jean-Claude Bradley

I'd probably recommend google sites or a wordpress site... and have that feed into your FF account of course. - Just Joe

you could also open an Linked In account and feed updates through that or combine it with a profile on Mendeley and/or ResearchGate, and use tumblr or a similar site to create quick blog posts. I'm assuming a new grad student would have limited time and may already be using twitter or FF as a discussion tool. I would argue they would reach more people with twitter but get more useful discussion on FF. - Elizabeth Brown

use a freelancer site and hire a freelancer for this purpose (there are plenty these days), save time - MohanArun

@Chris, that is brilliant. The kind of stuff I think will be great to stalk the FLOSS developers with! I came back from the Linux Conference Australia with a bunch of business cards as well, so it may be worth trying to brainstorm around that. - Kubke

I actually think its still a bit early to build such a thing - we need both the technology, UIs, and vocabularies to mature a bit more yet. ISA for instance is really no good for my specific research work, but that doesn't mean it can't be effectively applied in some areas. But I think we haven't yet got our heads around how to talk sensibly about real interchange standards in science.... more... - Cameron Neylon

@D0r0th34 and Bill Great points too, and one that which occupies my mind too often. Do you have any suggestions as to what *pitches* have been successful or failed in the past? - Kubke

@D0r0th34, thanks for the link. @Cameron, I think you raise a good point. Any idea where/how this could happen? (decide on a unified standard). Also, what do you think (from the UK point of view perhaps) are the social probles that prevent this kind of thing? - Kubke

Funnily enough I was in a meeting today about a project that was asking a question "can we generate a data model that covers these two specific projects". Not the whole world, not science, just two very specific projects, that are not even that different. Answer...maybe. Its tough and we're really just starting out and I think it needs a lot more careful thought yet. I saw something... more... - Cameron Neylon

For me the answer is that you can never have something unified that actually describes the science. What we might be able to achieve is a sufficiently generally framework that people can hang locally agreed vocabulary systems off it to enable some level of flexible interoperability. Need to do some writing on this to work it out in my head though! - Cameron Neylon

Hah, interesting, I don't know anything about the innards at all...something else to put on my reading list? - Cameron Neylon

I guess OA is the new taboo - Jean-Claude Bradley

20 years D - but I recall upsetting my supervisor plenty back then :) - Jean-Claude Bradley

I don't think OA is necessarily taboo, but rather the publishing decision seems to rest more with the advisor. Actually a lot of students might start the OA discussion just to get an argument going... - Elizabeth Brown

I think faculty are hearing more about it and as they feel the pain of journal cancellations and see OA Journals that are highly regarded (PLOS), they are beginning to be more open to the idea. - Brian Westra

I actually think that you are *supposed* to upset your supervisor, as a grad student. It's like teens and parents -- if you don't make 'em mad from time to time, then you're not developing enough independence. :-) Of course, science has become such a dog-eat-dog environment, with such precarious prospects, that everyone feels vulnerable and is unwilling to rock any boats. - Bill Hooker

I think the behavior varies depending on the situation - I felt pretty comfortable with my advisor but our collaborator did NOT like to be contradicted and was higher up the food chain in the dept and research area. A bigger taboo I saw in science was who had the best ideas vs. who took/got credit for them. THAT was a real eye-opener for me. - Elizabeth Brown

Indeed Elizabeth - it is very difficult to convert an existing collaboration into something more open - Jean-Claude Bradley

This kind of conversation (which I had with my PI, who was old school and could publish just about anything whereever he liked and doled out credit for things according to whim) always has some people talking about the way things are and some talking about the way things should be. Often, the two want little to do with one another, but I think it's totally OK to set an aspiration for... more... - Mr. Gunn

I've less difficulty getting things into OA journals than I have with getting anyone in my circle to adhere to even a slightly open *notebook* - and my own entries reflect this, since there is not a lot of point in only writing to myself, when I'm not doing the wet benchwork so much. I post seminar notes and some thoughts, so I can search them, but those aren't results. My administration is also dead set against. - Heather

Yeah, it'll never come in a top-down fashion, but I predict that there will be some groups that do join together and really start to make progress, at which point they'll force the administrations to start taking notice. - Mr. Gunn

Mr.G -I see this as definitely a bottom up process, and I think that is preferable to a top down change. You should do things because they make sense for you and your collaborators, not because you have been ordered to do so. - Jean-Claude Bradley

Ah but NSF isn't ordering people to do things in a certain way - they are just asking for a data management plan. They are essentially supporting the bottom up strategy to some extent - Jean-Claude Bradley
