An ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook) is a tool designed for logging, organising and managing data generated in a laboratory, especially in scientific, research or industrial environment where working in a digital framework is required.

The ELN replaces the traditional paper-based laboratory notebooks, allowing researchers to document their experiments, procedures, data, comments and results in an electronic and structured way.
