The development of an [[electronic laboratory notebook]] (ELN) for researchers working in the field of chemical sciences is presented. The web-based application is available as open-source software that offers modern solutions for chemical researchers. The [[Chemotion ELN]] is equipped with the basic functionalities necessary for the acquisition and processing of chemical data, in particular work with molecular structures and calculations based on molecular properties. The ELN supports planning, description, storage, and management for the routine work of organic chemists. It also provides tools for communicating and sharing the recorded research data among colleagues. Meeting the requirements of a state-of-the-art research infrastructure, the ELN allows the search for molecules and reactions not only within the user’s data but also in conventional external sources as provided by SciFinder and PubChem. The presented development makes allowance for the growing dependency of scientific activity on the availability of digital [[information]] by providing open- source instruments to record and reuse research data. The current version of the ELN has been used for over half of a year in our chemistry research group, serving as a common infrastructure for chemistry research and enabling chemistry researchers to build their own databases of digital information as a prerequisite for the detailed, systematic investigation and evaluation of chemical reactions and mechanisms.

"Expert search strategies: The information retrieval practices of healthcare information professionals"

Healthcare information professionals play a key role in closing the knowledge gap between medical research and clinical practice. Their work involves meticulous searching of literature databases using complex search strategies that can consist of hundreds of keywords, operators, and ontology terms. This process is prone to error and can lead to inefficiency and bias if performed incorrectly.

The aim of this study was to investigate the search behavior of healthcare information professionals, uncovering their needs, goals, and requirements for information retrieval systems. A survey was distributed to healthcare information professionals via professional association email discussion lists. It investigated the search tasks they undertake, their techniques for search strategy formulation, their approaches to evaluating search results, and their preferred functionality for searching library-style databases. The popular literature search system PubMed was then evaluated to determine the extent to which their needs were met. (Full article...)
