Laboratory notebooks have been a staple of scientific research for centuries for organizing and documenting ideas and experiments. Modern laboratories are increasingly reliant on electronic data collection and analysis, so it seems inevitable that the digital revolution should come to the ordinary laboratory notebook. The most important aspect of this transition is to make the shift as comfortable and intuitive as possible, so that the creative process that is the hallmark of scientific investigation and engineering achievement is maintained, and ideally enhanced. The smart electronic laboratory notebooks described in this paper represent a paradigm shift from the old pen and paper style notebooks and provide a host of powerful operational and documentation capabilities in an intuitive format that is available anywhere at any time.
几个世纪以来，实验室笔记本一直是科学研究的主要工具，用于整理和记录想法及实验。现代实验室越来越依赖电子数据收集和分析，因此数字革命进入普通实验室笔记本似乎是不可避免的。这种转变最重要的方面是尽可能使转变舒适且直观，以便维持并理想地增强作为科学研究和工程成就标志的创造性过程。本文所述的智能电子实验室笔记本代表了从老式纸笔笔记本的范式转变，并以一种直观的格式提供了一系列强大的操作和记录功能，随时随地都可使用。
