One of the big arguments in favour of an Electronic Lab Notebook is of course the ability to share information with your co-workers. However, despite the obvious benefits of sharing, there’s always the ‘cultural’ issue to deal with as well, i.e. how happy am I to share my ideas, records and data with my co-workers? We spend a lot of time worrying about these issues and evolving strategies to deal with them, so it was quite interesting to come across a real life story (Jenski, PhD) that seems to encapsulate the dilemma, if not the solution.
