There is one major loophole/sign in the EOC that says a lot: they didn't have the data anymore (aside from the labbooks they checked). Having no data is often a pass to not have your stuff retracted. As they then can't prove you did anything wrong.
Very pleased to see this finally out. Fun fact, most of the data in this article is from my first year of PhD, and thanks to the standard Jerome expects of labbooks to have it was publishable with little extra analyses to run. Keep your labbook clean, you're worth it.
@steph_ge_amos and @FranckF1476 work on the fine-tuning of hypervalent iodine reagents in photoredox-catalyzed reactions and preliminary results for new transformations is now accepted @HelvChimActa in the Prof. Janine Cossy/Bürgenstock president issue

@R_H_Ebright in any case, whagt do you think about the future of #GoF in #virology? What about better rules and control? Then, during the next #pandemia, just check the labbooks and consult the control agency (organised like @iaeaorg ?)
I think it needs to be top down because i see labnote books as belonging to the future lab people. Have new people look at a previous labbooks (both good examples and less good). Have them try to repeat experiments related to their experiment based on previous person's notes.
For the cultural aspect: social justice
For the endless prereg debates: open labbooks
For grumpiness: that a lot of metascience falls into the same poor practices we bash social psych for
I do this, and even more so since moving to online labbooks. It's easy to take a snap to add to your lab book and then throw the paper towel away (although I also know many people who used to glue in bits of paper towel to their lab books).
That’s an excellent question. I’ve used to write my electronic labbooks on word files (🙄) and recently changed to OneNote. However, I’m not completely satisfied and I don’t like how the files are exported. I wouldn’t recommend it..
"Notability", with automatic backup to sharepoint (PDFs) AND icloud (sync across devices). All members of my lab have ipads with pen (all three of us) and we can see each others lab notebooks. Take photos and its faster than paper. Tried out 6 "real" e-labbooks and hated them.
