Open Enventory
Attributes
DescriptionOpen Enventory is a free, web-based open-source (AGPL v3) programs for chemical inventory and electronic lab notebook. It combines: a lab notebook, a database for all spectroscopic data, a chemical inventory and a literature database. It is designed for the requirements of university groups and small companies, focuses primarily in Chemistry research. The laboratory journal uses the data from inventory management and makes the results accessible to all members of the working group. Both inventory and laboratory journal allow the data to be shared with other working groups for the purpose of collaboration.

Provider's data safety and data security strategiesIn Open Enventory every working group can create their own working group and these are open, but these databases are private for each group. Users can search for each others chemicals but only if they have set them to visible (which is the default setting) but they can be set to private. Users can choose not to connect up their databases to the central system. Credentials are passed directly to MySQL using phpMyAdmin so the passwords aren't being stored directly.

Exit strategyData can be exported out Excel format and .csv (either separately or in zip files with additional lab notebook content), and SDFile. Users can also generate PDF reports. Users can also make use of the sciflection service (www. sciflection.com), which transforms the lab notebook entries into JSON.
