There are various methods for storing experimental results, each with its own advantages and limitations. Common methods include:
Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs): These are digital versions of traditional lab notebooks, offering features like easy data entry, searchability, and cloud storage. Databases: Structured databases allow for the organized storage of large datasets, facilitating efficient data retrieval and analysis. Spreadsheets: Tools like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets are often used for recording and analyzing experimental data. Data Repositories: Public repositories such as the NIST Chemistry WebBook offer a platform for sharing and accessing experimental data.
