Maintaining source documentation requires systematic and organized record-keeping practices. Here are some tips:
Use electronic lab notebooks: They are easier to organize, search, and share compared to traditional paper notebooks. Regular updates: Ensure that documentation is updated in real-time during experiments to avoid any loss of data. Backups: Regularly back up data to prevent loss due to technical failures. Standardized formats: Use consistent formats for documenting procedures and data to make it easier for others to understand and replicate the work.
