State-of-the-art Labs Meet State-of-the-art FAIR Data Practices

More than ever modern labs are inundated with data. These data take many forms ranging from in-depth laboratory protocols to hard drives of primary and secondary measurements to published products. There are many reasons for labs to capture all data products from inception to completion of a single project, including internal fidelity and external replicability. The number of products available to the “simplify” these data management needs is extensive, but can be cumbersome if not deployed correctly. Informed data management and standardized laboratory practices can help make sense of the data quagmire.
