In the ever-evolving landscape of research, documentation remains a cornerstone of scientific progress. Traditionally, researchers have relied on analog lab journals, but the shift towards digital solutions offers numerous advantages. Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) not only enhance searchability, allowing easy retrieval of past experiments, but also ensure consistency through structured templates and metadata profiles.

Metadata is crucial for the organization and management of research data. It plays a central role in ensuring the traceability and reusability of scientific results by documenting detailed information about the methods, parameters and tools used. Systematic collection and maintenance of metadata from the beginning of a research project is therefore essential to ensure the quality and long-term usability of the data.
Effective Data Sharing With Coscine – Part 3

In the second part of the blog series “Effective Data Sharing With Coscine“, we used the Coscine API to create a list of download links to research data in a resource. This list was converted into a structured markup format for better presentation and you learned about various options for displaying certain file types. In the third part, you will now learn how to build on this and create a web page to present your data. We will use the free services of GitHub or optionally GitLab to create and host a static website.
