Research data management with eLabFTW and Adamant

The practical implementation of present requirements of the funding organizations with regard to the collection of standardized metadata and compliance with the FAIR data principles presents scientists and institutes with new challenges. Research data should be documented in a structured way and provided with identifiers to keep both data and metadata findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) systems can support the implementation of these requirements. This poster introduces the open-source ELN system eLabFTW (https://www.elabftw.net) and demonstrates its practical application in several groups in the field of low-temperature plasma physics. Furthermore, it is shown how the open-source tool Adamant (https://github.com/plasma-mds/adamant) can help to collect and store metadata in structured formats supporting the implementation of automated workflows for metadata acquisition, storage and publication on the basis of eLabFTW.
