## ELNs and Other Tools

For effective data management, software tools should be selected in a uniform manner within a project or research group with the aim to [organize](/docs/data_organisation)
and streamline workflows. This involves establishing clear usage guidelines, including metadata templates drawn from minimum information standards for a given method, where available.
These should be outlined in a [data management plan (DMP)](/docs/dmp) for each project. Many universities supply tools and templates for DMPs (see the [respective article](/docs/dmp) for more information).

General chemistry ELNs can typically be used for analytical chemistry data and may be well suited to your research topic. However, there are also specialised tools that are tailored to the needs of analytical chemists. These tools often include features for managing instrument data, processing raw data files and visualising results. They may also include tools for chemometric analysis.

To meet the requirements for FAIR data management, electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) are particularly useful as they can take over many documentation tasks for researchers. The [ELN-Finder](https://eln-finder.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/search?f.K03=Pharmacy,equals&spc.page=1) offers a selection of pharmacy-specific ELNs. How to choose the right ELN for the research group can be read [here](https://knowledgebase.nfdi4chem.de/knowledge_base/docs/choose_eln/).

## ELNs and Other Tools

For planning research data management and creating data management plans, tools such as [RDMO](https://rdmorganiser.github.io/) and [DMP-Online](https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/) are suitable. Many universities have their own instances of these solutions.

If you want your data to comply with the [FAIR principles](/docs/fair/) it can be very tedious and extremely time consuming if you try to apply the FAIR principles to your data retrospectively if your existing workflows involve a large degree of analogue documentation (e.g. paper lab notebooks). The reality is that you need tools to take care of certain aspects of the FAIR principles automatically so you don’t have to apply them manually each time. [Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs)](/docs/eln/) are very powerful tools that can help you with this. Depending on what ELN you use, the [metadata](/docs/metadata/) can be automatically assigned in both human and [machine-readable formats](/docs/format_standards/). Furthermore, some ELNs can automatically generate interoperable [open file formats](/docs/format_standards/#format-standards-in-chemistry) for your analytical data. Choosing the right ELN can be challenging and this process should be thought about and carried out carefully. You can find out more on [how to choose the right ELN here](/docs/choose_eln/):

The creation of a DMP can be supported by various tools.

NFDI4Chem is proud to present an RDMO template specifically tailored to the needs of chemists. At [https://rdmo.nfdi4chem.de/](https://rdmo.nfdi4chem.de/) you will find a questionnaire that will lead you to a detailed DMP for your project.
The [Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO)](https://rdmo.aip.de/) is run at 45 research institutions in Germany and abroad (as of January 2022). It was developed in a DFG-funded project (2015–2020) and is now further maintained by the RDMO working group as an open source software. It offers several "question catalogs" for specific funding programs, disciplines, or research consortia. They enable researchers to organise their data management with the help of precisely formulated questions, help texts, multiple-choice answers. User-created catalogs may be reused and are available for download in a [central repository](https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo-catalog).

[DMPOnline](https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/) was developed by the UK Digital Curation Centre (DCC). It includes a template for Horizon Europe projects as well as from the main UK funders. It also provides short general explanations for every single question. DMPOnline and DMPTool are based on the software DMPRoadmap.
