What Are the Challenges of Implementing Digital Laboratory Notebooks?
While DLNs offer numerous benefits, there are challenges to consider:
1. Initial Setup and Training: Implementing a DLN requires time and resources for setup and training. 2. Resistance to Change: Some researchers may be resistant to transitioning from traditional paper notebooks to digital formats. 3. Cost: High-quality DLNs can be expensive, and ongoing subscription fees may be required. 4. Data Migration: Transferring existing data from paper notebooks to a DLN can be labor-intensive.
