For research teams that need to show what was recorded and when, eLabFTW® is an electronic lab notebook that keeps experiments, lab inventory, and equipment bookings in one shared, searchable system. Each experiment holds rich-text notes, tables, images, checkable steps, custom metadata fields, tags, statuses, and attached files. Templates turn a protocol you repeat into a one-click starting point. A separate resource database catalogs antibodies, plasmids, cell lines, chemicals, and instruments, and typing # in an experiment links straight to any of them. Compounds import from PubChem by CID or CAS number, arriving with formulas, identifiers, and hazard data. The inventory tree maps buildings and their sub-locations, records where each container is stored, and tracks quantity and unit. Book a microscope by dragging a slot on the scheduler, and permissions decide who may reserve what. Entries can be signed with Ed25519 keys and timestamped through RFC 3161 authorities such as DFN, Digicert, and GlobalSign, or anchored on the Bloxberg blockchain; a timestamp archive can never be edited or deleted. Export to PDF, ZIP, CSV, JSON, or .eln archives, and import .eln or CSV files when moving from spreadsheets or another notebook. Users sign in locally or through SAML2 or LDAP, and an API with per-user keys lets instruments and scripts read and write entries.

With DSpace, a library or research office can give every thesis, journal article, and dataset its own permanent web address, a searchable metadata record, and files visitors download from the archive. Content sits in a tree of communities and collections, and each collection decides who may deposit and how many review steps follow; reviewers accept a submission or reject it with a note that sends it back to the author. Embargoes hold files back until a set date, access policies limit other files to chosen groups, and sign-in works through LDAP, Shibboleth, SAML, OpenID Connect, or ORCID. Search covers metadata and the extracted full text of uploaded files, facets narrow the results, and browse pages sort by title, issue date, author, or subject. Editors can correct a published item through the submission form. Administrators inspect an audit trail and rewrite homepage news from an admin form. Entity types for people, organizations, projects, journals, and datasets link each publication to the work behind it, and DOIs can be registered through Crossref. Optional settings let authors keep an email address private on their researcher profile and download their own restricted files. Usage reports count visits, downloads, and top countries per item. REST, OAI-PMH, SWORD, and Google Scholar metadata connect the archive to harvesters, deposit tools, and search engines.
