The systematic recording and management of experimental data in academic life science research remains an open problem. EPFL engaged in a program of ELN/LIMS deployment 6 years ago, encountering a host of fundamental questions at the institutional level and in each single laboratory. Here, based on our experience we aim to share with research institute managers, PIs, and any scientists involved in an ELN/LIMS deployment, helpful tips and tools to surround yourself with the right people and the right software at the right time. In this article we describe the resources used, the challenges, key success factors, and the results obtained at each phase of our project. Finally, we discuss the current and next challenges and how our experience leads us to support the creation of a new position in the research groups: the laboratory data manager.
在学术生命科学研究中，系统地记录和管理实验数据仍然是一个未解决的问题。EPFL 六年前开始了 ELN/LIMS 的部署计划，在机构层面和每个单独的实验室都遇到了一系列基本问题。在这里，我们根据经验，旨在与研究所管理人员、PI 以及任何参与 ELN/LIMS 部署的科学家分享有用的提示和工具，以便在适当的时间与合适的人员和合适的软件一起工作。在本文中，我们描述了在项目的每个阶段使用的资源、遇到的挑战、关键成功因素和获得的结果。最后，我们讨论了当前和未来的挑战，以及我们的经验如何促使我们支持在研究小组中创建一个新职位：实验室数据经理。
