What does it mean to be "key" for the purpose of this ranking? The criterion for a vendor selling proprietary commercial laboratory informatics software being listed here: the vendor's LIMSwiki page must have a ''cited'' (from a publicly-available source) price list. Those with demonstration videos are given higher preference; items ranked by number of videos. Go [[:Category:Vendors|here]] for all listed vendors in the wiki.

[[File:Tycho Brahes stora murkvadrant, Nordisk Familjebok.jpg|thumb|left]]'''After a brief hiatus this summer''', we're back in business here on the wiki. As always, maintenance and updates to existing material remain vital. In this rapidly changing world of information technology, advances in products as well as closures by vendors happen frequently. With such a small group of regulars dedicated to maintaining this wiki, there's bound to be information that is out-of-date or inaccurate. We continue our call out for a few good editors to lend a hand with research and updates to our content, whether it be [[:Category:Vendors|vendor updates]] or contributions to technical articles. For example, there are many [[Informatics|branches of informatics]], but little is written about them still.
 
Please consider [[Special:RequestAccount|requesting a LIMSwiki account]] if you feel you can contribute [[LIMSWiki:Verifiability|neutral, well-researched content]] to the wiki. And If after reading the guidelines you still need a little help, write a brief message on [[User talk:Shawndouglas|my talk page]], and I'll help how I can. We might even be able to organize an online tutorial together. And many thanks to our contributors!

Revision as of 17:56, 15 January 2018


Welcome to LIMSwiki.org, the laboratory, health, and science informatics encyclopedia.
Users have contributed: 769 articles.

LIMSwiki is a collaborative wiki dedicated to the scientific community, featuring organized, documented, and up-to-date content regarding all aspects of laboratory informatics, bioinformatics, and health informatics. LIMSwiki also strives to maintain relevant knowledge about laboratory equipment as well as commercial and open-source software likely to be used in a laboratory setting. This also includes the vendors of such equipment and software.

Like any community wiki, the value and success of LIMSwiki is dependent upon the scientific community contributing their vast knowledge through the creation of relevant articles and editing of existing articles where knowledge is absent. If you wish to enrich the content of this wiki or have something of value to add, please request an account and get started.

"GitHub as an open electronic laboratory notebook for real-time sharing of knowledge and collaboration"

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have expanded the utility of the paper laboratory notebook beyond that of a simple record keeping tool. Open ELNs offer additional benefits to the scientific community, including increased transparency, reproducibility, and integrity. A key element underpinning these benefits is facile and expedient knowledge sharing which aids communication and collaboration. In previous projects, we have used LabTrove and LabArchives as open ELNs, in partnership with GitHub (an open-source web-based platform originally developed for collaborative coding) for communication and discussion. Here we present our personal experiences using GitHub as the central platform for many aspects of the scientific process ... (Full article...)

Fig3 Liscouski SciStudGuideLabInfo23.png
Are you studying some sort of laboratory-based science in university? How well do your classes address laboratory informatics topics, particularly in the scope of industrial labs and how they operate outside of academia? If you find the discussion lacking, then his guide by industry veteran Joe Liscouski will be worth a look. In his guide A Science Student's Guide to Laboratory Informatics, Liscouski presents "an annotated map of the laboratory portion of a technological world, identifying critical points of interest and how they relate to one another, while making recommendations for the reader to learn more." Hope you find it useful! Shawn Douglas (talk) 18:48, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Do you feel your lab needs laboratory informatics software but you're not sure how to justify it to management? Then this new guide from Joe Liscouski and Shawn Douglas may be just what you need. Justification for a laboratory information management system (LIMS) or some other lab management solution isn't always straightforward with upper management and critical stakeholders; the process will need to be succinct and relevant, based on organizational goals, economic concerns, and practical realities. This guide will help you—whether you are a lab manager, lab technician, or someone else in the organization with a stake in seeing laboratory operations improve—understand what a LIMS is, what the alternatives are, what and why acquiring one looks like, and what needs to be considered in putting together a competent and persuasive LIMS project proposal. This guide also includes a handy Microsoft Excel workbook that will help act as a "cheat sheet" for persuading stakeholders to better buy into your vision of LIMS acquisition and deployment within your organization. Enjoy! Shawn Douglas (talk) 16:32, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
