NotedELN is an Electronic Lab Notebook for scientists of all stripes. NotedELN is great for:
-
Taking notes during experiments since it automatically saves your input every 10 seconds so that your notes will never be lost;
-
Keeping track of data analysis results since screen shots and other graphics can be added to a notebook page by drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste;
-
Recording your lit searches, since it will automatically download papers from PubMed and archive them with your notebook;
-
Recording your thought processes, since it will never get in the way of your typing with arbitrary constraints on input formatting.
NotedELN is quite mature and used daily in our lab. NotedELN has never caused anyone to lose any data or notes. To the contrary, since most people type faster than they can write by hand, ELN has helped people take more detailed notes than they would otherwise have.
NotedELN is free and open source and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Development continues, and your suggestions, bug reports, and contributions are welcome.
Installation instructions, tutorials, and user guides for NotedELN are now on ReadTheDocs.
