Have you perhaps already tried to implement an ERN and were unable to overcome certain obstacles? Or are you a digital master who has successfully implemented one and want to share your experiences? Join us for a thought provoking online meeting to share knowledge around the practicalities\, benefits\, and success stories of ERN adoption. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Audience\nThis event is designed for anyone interested in digitising research workflows\, moving from paper notebooks (lab or otherwise!) to digital solutions\, and ensuring well-documented research data. Learn from real-world examples\, discover different ERN options\, and gain insight into the challenges and considerations required for successful ERN implementation.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Agenda\n\n13:00 – 13:15: Introductions to the Community\n13:15 – 14:15: Electronic Research Notebook Experiences\n\nOneNote Portfolios for Supporting Laboratory and Research Skills Development in Undergraduate Students – Chloe Harold and Chris Hawes (Keele University)Digital portfolios are increasingly used to support reflective and authentic assessment in higher education. This talk describes the use of Microsoft OneNote as a platform for laboratory portfolios in our undergraduate chemistry course. We discuss the rationale for adopting a portfolio-based assessment model\, outline the practical implementation of OneNote portfolios in laboratory courses across all levels\, and evaluate the strengths and limitations of OneNote for portfolio use. Student and staff feedback highlights improved organisation\, reflection\, and contemporaneous engagement with laboratory learning\, alongside improved module outcomes. We conclude by demonstrating how this approach can be transferred beyond laboratory assessment and adapted for use in other disciplines.\nUsing a general note-taking software as a flexible ERN – Dr. Danny Garside (Digital Research Academy)When Danny was a postdoc in a neuroscience lab at the National Institutes of Health in Washington DC they were tasked with finding a replacement to the lab’s system of paper notebooks. They settled on logseq – a general note-taking software which is open-source and flexible. They will discuss the reasons for this choice (free\, flexible\, no vendor lock-in\, supporting the development of open-source tools)\, how they implemented it (see this blog post)\, and lessons learnt along the way.\nImplementing OneNote in Chemistry Undergraduate Labs – Dr Philip Leadbitter (University of Southampton) In late 2019\, the undergraduate teaching laboratories in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Southampton (UoS) underwent a major refurbishment\, including the introduction of teaching laptops to the labs. This paved the way for the teaching labs to phase out physical notebooks. Yet this phasing out process was not without its complications\, and it was not until 2024 a comprehensive replacement for the old physical notebooks was fully implemented. This talk will share insights from our implementation of OneNote and explain why ultimately a fully fledged ELN is now considered more suitable for our needs.\nTrialing and Implementing Revvity Signals in Chemistry Research Labs – Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza (University of Southampton)In 2025\, the University of Southampton trialled the Revvity Signals Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) across 12 chemistry research groups\, engaging 36 researchers and capturing over 120 experiments per week. This presentation shares key lessons from the pilot\, highlighting benefits such as improved workflow consistency\, ChemDraw integration\, and embedded Health & Safety documentation\, alongside technical and adoption challenges that emerged. The talk explores critical success factors for ELN implementation\, including stakeholder engagement and user support\, and outlines considerations for optimising and scaling ELN use across academic research environments.\nAI4Green: an open-source ELN promoting sustainability chemistry – Professor Jonathan Hirst (University of Nottingham)Digital tools will be a critical part of making chemistry research laboratories more sustainable. Our AI4Green open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN)\, https://ai4green.app\, combines features including data archival and collaboration tools. The application’s design facilitates the integration of auxiliary sustainability applications. For example\, the open-source retrosynthesis software\, AiZynthFinder has been integrated into the platform. AI4Green features a sustainable solvent selection tool\, which comprises the Solvent Guide and the Solvent Surfer. The latter is an interactive principal component analysis (PCA) that provides users with an easy method to determine greener solvent alternatives.\nImplementing RSpace as an institutional Electronic Research Notebook for UCL – James A J Wilson (UCL)After a couple of years of discussing and measuring the potential need for an institutional ERN/ELN for University College London\, a decision was made in 2020 that the time was right to acquire a system that would benefit a broad cross-section of the university and the university went to tender to purchase and implement such a system. We settled on RSpace\, as the best fit to our strategy and after user testing. RSpace has now been in place for five years – enough time to learn lessons about what has worked and what remains to be done. This presentation will summarize the story behind the selection of RSpace and what we have learnt on the way.\n\n\n14:15 – 14:45: Q+A Panel with Speakers  \n14:45 – 15:00: Coffee Break\n15:00 – 16:30: Interactive Discussion Session\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speaker Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Chloe Harold (Keele University)Chloe Harold is a Chemistry lecturer at Keele University with 17 years of teaching experience.

This fragmentation creates data silos that hinder innovation and prevent the deployment of modern digital tools. \nIn this webinar\, Data Revival will demonstrate how advanced computer vision and domain-specific AI can transform this “dark data” into living\, interoperable assets. We will showcase our specialized Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR) technology\, which is uniquely capable of interpreting the full spectrum of chemical representations: standard printed molecules\, complex Markush structures found in intellectual property\, and hand-drawn structures from legacy notebooks. \nAttendees will see this technology applied in real-world scenarios\, including the creation of comprehensive reaction databases from thousands of Organic Process Research & Development (OPRD) papers \, the systematic parsing of patent landscapes\, and the automated extraction of historical notebook data to populate modern Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs). Join us to learn how we bridge the gap between static archives and AI-ready infrastructure. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Samuel Munday is the CEO and co-founder of the University of Southampton spin out Data Revival. He first became interested in scientific data management whilst building a predictive analytics platform for polymeric materials and realising that a lot of key data resided in a form incomprehensible to computers. This has led to the development of a series of tools for unstructured chemical data extraction and structuring\, mainly used for turning hand written lab notebooks\, patents and academic literature into structured searchable databases at scale. These services are now being used by large multinational chemical and pharmaceutical companies in areas as diverse as semiconductors\, polymers and drug discovery. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the recording\nYou can watch the recording of this webinar via our YouTube channel.

However\, in order for researchers to be able to take full advantage of these advances\, software frameworks are needed to facilitate data generation\, scientific benchmarking\, training and fine-tuning of MLIPs\, as well as to enable their integration into simulation workflows to study properties of interest. To address this need\, we introduce (a) janus-core\, (b) aiida-mlip and (c) ML-PEG. \nThe main focus of this highlight will be aiida-mlip and ML-PEG. aiida-mlip is an AiiDA plugin\, enabling full provenance tracking and HPC integration for workflows involving MLIPs\, such as high-throughput calculations and fine-tuning workflows. ML-PEG is an ML potential usability and performance guide\, providing a framework to develop\, run\, and visualise an automated\, modular\, hierarchical test suite for MLIPs. ML-PEG is highly interactive\, with users able to explore the results of tests at multiple levels of detail\, and customise the relative importance and scaling of individual tests according to their applications and properties of interest. How these integrate in the larger ecosystem of PSDI\, like data collections would also be highlighted. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Elliott Kasoar is a research software engineer in the data-driven materials and molecular science group within STFC’s scientific computing department.

Through PSDI\, she has evaluated diverse ELN solutions\, uncovering key barriers and strategies for success. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on YouTube \n \n \n \n \n \n Abstract\n​With the ever increasing realisation that a majority of scientific research that is published is not “FAIR” (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable) there has been a strong push in recent years to implement digital tools within the labs (namely Electronic Lab Notebooks) to combat this. However\, implementing an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is no mean feat\, it is a sociotechnical challenge with a range of barriers and considerations that need to be taken into account if this is to be achieved successfully. Furthermore\, we need to understand that implementing an ELN is not the end of the journey; digital tools and digitally produced data are arguably no more FAIR than the original paper based lab book if they are not utilised to their full extent. Through PSDI we have worked on a number of case studies to examine and evaluate ELN implementations\, ranging from in-house custom solutions\, to fully fledged industrial solutions\, across both teaching and research laboratories\, which have vastly enriched our insight on these complex matters. \nJoin me to delve into my twisty turny decade long journey in the trials and tribulations of implementing Electronic Lab Notebooks\, and despite the title\, I promise I won’t sing! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \nDr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza is a Principal Enterprise Fellow at the University of Southampton.

The webinar also unveils CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research)\, a new four-year initiative designed to support and empower Data Stewards as central figures in the research lifecycle. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on YouTube \n \n \n \n \n \n Abstract\n​Data availability and usage across all research domains is becoming exponentially more necessary as research methods transition into\, and more routinely embrace\, computation and advanced technologies. This research data growth presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges but requires investment in human expertise to maximize its potential. In many disciplines\, the expertise and effort required to make data FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable) is vastly underestimated. Project researchers frequently lack time or appropriate knowledge to do this\, resulting in substantial research data that are not fit for re-use. Ultimately\, this responsibility and expertise should not lie with researchers. Much like the rise of specialist roles such as research software engineers and data scientists\, there is a new specialist digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) role that is gathering traction\, the Data Steward – they are the key to bridging the gap between data generation and reuse\, as they have a fundamental role that ensures the quality\, accuracy\, accessibility and longevity of data across the entire data lifecycle.  \nJoin me to hear about the importance of the role of data stewardship\, and to find out all about my brand new initiative CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research)\, a dedicated four year Network+ for Data Stewards that empowers them to play a central role in the research lifecycle. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \nDr Samantha Pearman-Kanza is Senior Enterprise Fellow at the University of Southampton.

The session will explore the core principles of Open Science\, highlighting the role of infrastructures like PSDI in driving progress. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on YouTube \n \n \n \n \n \n Abstract\n​Just this month\, yet another significant study highlighted a major challenge in scientific research—the inability to replicate or validate a significant portion of published findings. Since science builds upon previous discoveries\, this issue has serious implications for the whole of science\, with fields ranging from medicine to environmental science reliant on trustworthy data to make critical decisions. New researchers often struggle due to incomplete methods and inaccessible research data\, making it difficult to reproduce experiments or advance knowledge. Many scientific findings remain locked behind paywalls\, with crucial details buried in supplementary files or restricted due to intellectual property concerns. While AI holds great promise for accelerating scientific progress\, much of the research landscape remains inaccessible or formatted in ways that machines cannot process effectively. Open science offers a solution by promoting transparency\, accessibility\, and collaboration. By making research freely available\, ensuring methods are detailed enough for replication\, and structuring data in machine-readable formats\, we can address this reproducibility crisis in science just when we need it the most. \nThis Webinar provides an introduction to Open Science\, a game-changer for researchers and society at large – if only we can persuade the science community to engage.  The session will explore the core principles of Open Science\, highlighting the role of infrastructures like PSDI in driving progress. We’ll explore how Open Science promotes accessibility\, ensuring that research is available not just to scientists but to everyone\, fostering transparency\, collaboration\, and meaningful discussions on critical issues. The webinar will showcase successful examples of Open Science in action and examine its impact. Additionally\, we’ll discuss practical steps for making science more open\, including the significance of FAIR principles. Finally\, we’ll identify key stakeholders and explore ways to cultivate a collaborative research culture. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Cerys Willoughby is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton.

We’ll address the diverse needs of different user groups and how accommodating these needs enhances software usability for everyone. Through this webinar\, you’ll discover best practices and design guidelines\, illustrated with examples of both successful and flawed design practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n Abstract\nThe significance of code and software in scientific research is rapidly growing. With the rise of open science and the FAIR principles\, researchers are no longer developing tools solely for their own use but are now also required to share their code and software along with their data for validation and reuse by others. In the past\, it was often acceptable to develop tools that were complex and challenging to use\, assuming that users would possess advanced software engineering skills\, be prepared to navigate steep learning curves\, and be capable of working around bugs in the code. In the present\, such expectations are unreasonable\, and there are numerous compelling reasons to create user-friendly tools and software for the scientific community. Usable software not only leads to wider adoption\, but also increases trust in both the software and the data it generates. The scientific community is large and diverse\, with a wide range of needs to consider to ensure research tools\, platforms\, and methods are accessible to everyone\, regardless of their abilities. Designing with all users in mind not only fosters inclusivity and enhances participation but also benefits everyone. By prioritizing universal usability\, researchers can ensure their tools have a wider impact and contribute more effectively to the scientific community. \nThis Webinar explores the fundamental principles of usability and accessibility\, emphasizing their vital role in designing effective and user-friendly tools. We’ll address the diverse needs of different user groups and how accommodating these needs enhances software usability for everyone. Through this webinar\, you’ll discover best practices and design guidelines\, illustrated with examples of both successful and flawed design practices. \nWe’ll delve into user research techniques that help you better understand your users and gather valuable insights into their needs. Additionally\, you’ll learn about various methods of usability testing\, including prototyping and iterative design\, which allow for faster feedback on your interfaces. We’ll also discuss essential tools and resources for evaluating the usability and accessibility of your designs\, and examine emerging trends in universal usability \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ​Dr. Cerys Willoughby is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton.

The subject of this webinar is pathfinder 5 which focuses on transforming data to knowledge through the construction of workflows. In particular this looks machine learning for interatomic potentials (MLIP). \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube \n \n \n \n \n \n This webinar will be presented by Alin Elena and Federica Zanca from Science and Technology Facilities Council Daresbury Laboratory. \nAbstract  \nAI is ubiquitous in all walks of life and research. In the last 5 years active research in the field of understanding how atoms and molecules interact using AI has revolutionised the field. The outcome of these efforts\, machine learning interatomic potentials\, MLIP\, has produced the breakthrough that recommends them as the next paradigm change in atomistic molecular simulations\, with applications ranging from battery design to catalytic chemical reaction modelling for hydrogen storage or CO2 capture. All these advances need expensive calculations to be produced and used for training machine learning models. In addition\, the models resulting from these models are non-trivial in terms of storage and distribution compared with previous generation interatomic potentials which tended to be analytical. Current models use millions of structures for training\, and this raises new challenges around reproducibility and exploitation of these models. Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure\, PSDI\, aims to enable researchers in the field to deal with the challenges coming from generating\, using and enhancing this data. The first part of the talk will concentrate on recent advances in the field and PSDI contribution\, second part more technical will concentrate on presenting databases and workflows challenges for having reproducible and reusable data. We will present opensearch\, abcd database and aiida workflows.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the recording\nYou can watch the recording of this webinar via our Youtube channel.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe pathfinders aim to focus development in strategic areas with the aim to explore and establish exemplar systems that can be brought under the PSDI umbrella and act as templates for future phases of the project.

The subject of this webinar is extraction of knowledge from lab books\, which is being undertaken as part of our Pathfinder 2 & 3 activities in conjunction with spin out company Data Revival. This webinar will be presented by Samuel Munday from Data Revival. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube \n \n \n \n \n \n Making the intangible tangible: The journey from lab notebook to digital insight\nThe University of Southampton’s chemistry department has accumulated a wealth of chemical knowledge over the years\, some of which has been captured in over 2000 lab books. The vast majority of these have been sat gathering dust in a cupboard for a long time\, unable to be destroyed due to both the value of knowledge they hold and their importance for Health and Safety reporting. However\, this knowledge is intangible and difficult to access\, offering no value to the department whilst taking up space and presenting a fire risk. We present our work on turning this unstructured resource into a structured accessible database that holds FAIR data open to analytics and intelligent search. Our system utilises AI-driven natural language processing techniques\, as well as chemical structure recognition\, to extract all the types of chemical information required to create a useful\, searchable database. This database unlocks 3000 chemist years of knowledge and enables more efficient and accurate future research. In this webinar we discuss the process of digitising such an archive effectively\, the AI tools we have created to work with such unstructured knowledge at scale\, the utility of the digital database created for the chemistry department\, and the feedback received from the department on the system’s potential for further development. \nBiography\nSamuel Munday is a senior research assistant at the University of Southampton as well as being the co-director of the fledgling spin out Data Revival. He first became interested in scientific data management whilst building a predictive analytics platform for polymeric materials and realising that a lot of key data resided in a form incomprehensible to computers. This has led to the development of a series of tools for unstructured chemical data extraction and structuring\, mainly used for turning hand written lab notebooks into structured searchable databases at scale. He is currently leading the development of this platform which is beginning to show signs of success with both academic researchers and commercial partners. \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the recording\nYou can watch the recording of this webinar via our Youtube channel.

The subject of this webinar is pathfinder 4 which focuses on process orchestration in Biomolecular Simulation. This webinar will be presented by James Gebbie and Jas Kalayan. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube. \nFAIR Data for the Biomolecular Simulation Community\nAbstract: \nThe biomolecular simulation community produces vast amounts of data to study complex biological systems at atomic scales. Yet\, how we store\, share\, and reuse our data is not well defined. One problem is that our simulation pipelines are difficult to replicate without detailed descriptions of each step. Another problem is the data files we produce can often be too large to store on the national compute facilities\, which most of this data is produced on. In this webinar we present possible solutions to address these two problems; firstly\, a software tool to record data provenance towards FAIR [1] compliant formats\, and the other an online data repository to store and share this data. \nFor reproducible data\, we utilise the powerful AiiDA Python infrastructure [2\,3] to develop our aiida-gromacs plugin [4]\, for tracking all inputs and outputs from simulation protocols performed with the GROMACS MD engine [5]. We show how aiida-gromacs can be used with minimal changes to how researchers already work\, to allow for easy adoption of provenance tools within our community. \nTo address the findable and accessible components of FAIR compliancy\, we also briefly present our prototype data infrastructure. Our aim is to allow researchers to directly upload data produced via aiida-gromacs onto our database for easy access\, querying and visualisation of simulation data/metadata online. \nWe encourage the biomolecular simulation community to try aiida-gromacs\, we have installation guides and tutorials available online.

The subject of this webinar is experimental data capture in catalysis research. This is the focus of Pathfinder 1 which is led by Abraham Nieva de la Hidalga. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube. \nExperimental Data Capture: producing publish ready data from processing and analysis processes\, example with XAS data processing.\nAbstract: In this seminar we will demonstrate two techniques for processing and analysing data that generate the required metadata to create FAIR digital objects. These objects can then be published as supporting information for the results obtained. This approach requires minimum intervention from the researcher performing the processing and analysis tasks. Consequently\, these methods are ideal for improving the practices of publishing data\, facilitate reproducibility of results\, and support greater reuse of published data. \nThe two proposed techniques are based on the use of the X-Ray Larch Python Library. The first technique uses Jupyter notebooks and MLProvLab. This approach is suitable for small scale spectra analysis\, this is processing and analysis of a small number of XAS readings being studied. The second technique leverages Galaxy tools and workflows. This approach is suitable for large scale spectra analysis\, which encompasses processing and analysis of large numbers of XAS readings\, such as those resulting from in situ and operando experiments. \nBoth techniques produce the metadata required for reproducing the results\, including data used\, parameters set at each stage\, sequence of operations and mapping between inputs and outputs. We will discuss the benefits of these type of tools such as\, less work in documenting supporting data by producing publishing ready data objects\, comparison of results when varying parameters and exploratory testing of different parameter combinations. \nAt the end of this seminar\, you will be able to practice with your actual data using the resources presented (Jupyter notebooks). Additionally\, we invite the community to provide ideas for improvements of the tools and for supplying ideas for further development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the recording\nYou can watch the recording of this webinar via our youtube channel. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n The pathfinders aim to focus development in strategic areas with the aim to explore and establish exemplar systems that can be brought under the PSDI umbrella and act as templates for future phases of the project.

In this second webinar we focus down into work package 4 of the current phase\, which contains our 5 pathfinders\, in this webinar we looked at the work in Pathfinder 2: Process Recording\, which is led by Dr Samantha Kanza. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube. \nAbstract: Process recording is fundamental to ensuring the preservation of the scientific record and enabling reproducibility. The Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) was originally created to serve as a direct replacement for the paper lab notebook\, to ensure the digital capture and retention of the scientific record. What seemed like an obvious simple software-based solution has been anything but\, and there are now over 80 active ELNs on the market and a wide range of different approaches have been taken to digitizing scientific research across academia and industry. \nThis talk will discuss the shift in software offerings and attitudes to process recording software and report on the results of a recent survey on ELN and Notebook Usage in our physical sciences community. We will also discuss the current work that is being undertaken in this pathfinder to produce a comprehensive resource on process recording tools to aid researchers in identifying the best solution(s) for them. It will also cover research being undertaken around the different aspects of process recording\, and community recommendations for making improvements in these areas\, such as metadata\, semantics\, data standards and the use of hybrid/voice technologies. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bio: Dr Samantha Kanza is a Senior Enterprise Fellow at the University of Southampton.
