Summary:

Use the link to acces more information about the upcoming course described in the following blog post: "Are you sick of taking lab notes in a paper notebook and toiling over organizing it? Do your labmates pester you with questions because they can’t read your handwriting or understand your shorthand notation? Do you waste time sifting through old notes to find specific protocols or results from experiments past? Well then jump into the 21st Century and learn how to improve your notebook and enhance your research by learning about open notebook science. Open notebook science is the practice of making your entire research project available online as it is recorded. It is the electronic analogue to the paper notebook you keep for experiments, and is intended to supplement and enhance the scientific process. By keeping your notes electronically, you will benefit from an automated organizational system with innate search capabilities. By publishing your notes online, they’ll be available to you no matter where you are as long as you have an internet connection. You’ll even be able to take notes away from the lab, if such a situation were to arise. By making your notes openly accessible, you’ll have the added benefit of being able to share research and communicate with colleagues and collaborators in real-time. You will also be able to get credit for the information you share and can supplement your publications with the details in your notebook. Now you can start your very own FREE open notebook, and the Scifund Challenge can help! Our next course teaches you everything you need to know about keeping an open notebook and will show you the best tools to do it with. In addition you will learn the truth behind the misconceptions of publishing online and how it can actually protect your research ..."
