## SciNote Reviews
  ### 1. A valuable tool that helps you to get your lab on track

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nuno F. | Auxiliary Researcher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I have been using SciNote since it was released and there are several features that I love:
1—Time-scheduled tasks: The ability to set deadlines and notify students of those deadlines significantly helps keep the students on track. One must always state that students will always pass the deadline, and I agree, but since I have been using it, it has helped a lot with management.
2- Log of everything: You can keep a record of everything that is done, from changes to the protocol, that usually were written on that paper that you cannot find any more to the stock of consumables, that "no one noticed they were almost over"
3-The easy access from everywhere to the work that they are doing on the moment.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Personally, I don't like that they can generate almost written reports because they can use it as their final report, but at the same time, most of the time, I use it to understand better what has been done, and it comes completely.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The integration of all the information in one place, is the best thing that it does. We don't have to go around sharing photos and notes, etc when everything is online and can be edited by everyone.

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

SciNote is a great ELN for researchers. They offer competitive pricing for the amount of features that are included. Adding support for Microsoft Online has been extremely helpful in simplifying our workflows. New features are added regularly to address user feedback. Customer service has been helpful and prompt to address concerns / solutions.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

The embeded tabled wells but is very basic in terms of functionality. Expanding upon this feature would be great.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote has been great for streamlining our reasearch efforts. SciNote has facilitated collaboration across our team working on different projects. It was extremely easy to implement and the software itself is user friendly so there was not a hard learning curve when first using the product.

protocol templates, inventory, label, and ease of access anywhere with internet browser

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

when typing in a protocol or inputing results, the status of the task would not automatically turn to "in progress", so sometimes the operator would have a task started while the status was still "not started"

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote is easy to implement as we transition from paper notebooks to electronic. It can send notifications via email or within SciNote, so now we do not have to schedule in-person notebook review sessions

easy to use, has most of the reuqired features (ie. be able to attach lab hand written notes as PDF and insert links)

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

The table  created is hard to fill, for example, it is hard to copy and paste when the table is long.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reduces the amount of paper documentation for lab work. Easy to look up details from the labnotes

  ### 11. Good concept with useful tools, but needs to be more user friendly

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The platform is good for organizing data and experiments, and for sharing the results with multiple stakeholders, as well as collaborating with them.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

The platform is inflexible so a lot of features that would be really helpful don't exist yet e.g. being able to move tasks between experiments or projects, adding results is cumbersome, and there aren't a lot of batch functions one can use without going off platform.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's easier to catalog experimental data such that it's in the same place and easy to retrieve than it would be otherwise.

  ### 12. Excellent lab management tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Being able to detail and organize lab items and inventory.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

SciNote is very helpful, but maybe the comments/notes section of tasks/experiments could be better managed and organized? Numerous comments or notes can look cluttered in its current set up. Also, sometimes when there are a lot of experiments within a folder it can be a lot to look at all at once- maybe having pages or a way to filter through the experiments would be better.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to track our experiements and inventory very well thanks to SciNote.

  ### 13. SciNote user experience as a start-up pharma service provider

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom S. | Founding CEO & Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

SciNote provides a nice and easy to use layout to structure our expermental procedures and the associated collected data right away. We have combined it with the stock manager add-on, which allows us to keep track of our stocks, but also enables us to use SciNote as our laborotary inventory managment system. Moreover, the support team provided fast responses and thinks along with the phase of a bussines (start-up in my case).

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Since we also use Scinote as our laborotary inventory managment system, up to my knowledge, I miss a experiment/task format free space to upload regulatory documents (i.e., in a more common folder-based file storage option).

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote allows us to structure our laboratory procedures, stocks and data in a easy to use system, which is accesible everywhere.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Thank you for your feedback, Tom! I am glad to hear you and your team are taking advantage of the design and layout. I will make sure to let the support team know that you appreciate their swift responses!

  ### 14. Smooth and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Xavier V. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The way to add data is really user friendly.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Sometimes is hard to create linked experiments

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having all the data coming from experiments online and accesible to everyone make things more effective than having a typical lab notebook which only the person has access to.

  ### 15. Has potential to be the best!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Saman N. | Post-doctoral Scientist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I like how everything is in one platform and easy to navigate and find items you are searching.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I do not like that you cannot delete items.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is easy to keep track of lab experiment and add results to the same file.

  ### 16. SciNote is a functional and clean with additional features for data sharing, inventory and planning.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Of the lab notebooks that I have used, SciNote is the most intuitive and easy to organize data in. It is also very good value for the cost.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I don't like that it can be relatively difficult to edit templates and protocols compared to other software. Also, it is difficult to edit my entries if I made a mistake in the uploading or writing process which is frustrating, but understandable in order to make sure there is integrity and proper tracking for data entries.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote helps us organize, record and share all of our experimental data and protocols across the company. It serves a critical role in our data management and reporting.

  ### 17. Perfect for multi-day experiments

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Being able to plan an experment for the week with the protocol uploaded creating a step by step check off system. You are also able to upload programmed excel sheets, images and results.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

there are certain settings that are available only on the desktop and not the app

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Increasing awareness of what everyone in the lab is doing and knowing details of the projects you are collaborating on that may be missed in conversation

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello! Thank you for your review of SciNote. The "planning" part mentioned by you is what makes SciNote different from many other ELNs - as SciNote has more experiment/project planning elements to it. I am really glad to hear that you find that useful, and that you are utilizing the app! We are definitely working to improve the app further - it's tricky because the mobile screen space is so much smaller than a browser screen. Do feel free to let us know via email what other features you would like to see in the app.

Thank you again for choosing SciNote!

  ### 18. Great for laboratory/experimental management, less good for computational work

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

As an electronic lab-book for the wet lab, the integration of protocols and workflows looks great and is ideal to ensure comsistency and reduce re-writing the same thing over and over.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

As a computational biologist there are some functionalities lacking compared to an alternative such as Notion.io. One of the biggest is the lack of code blocks, which make it a lot easier to navigate.

For general users there is also the lack of sub-page functionality and not even a dark mode option. Image manipulation could be improved also.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having an electronic lab-book with easier incorporation of notes, images, and tables, as well as protocols.

  ### 19. SciNote Team Customer Service Superstars

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The SciNote Team are incredibly supportive of their clients.  As a small business owner, I feel like the team has supported me through some really challenging time with my business. The team also checks in regularly with personal emails and asking if any assistance is needed.
I love all the features that are avaiable in SciNote. When we were in an active research phase, we utilized SciNote every day to record data. SciNote was easy to use and it was easy to set up templates for research associates. SciNote integrated seemlessly into our workflow; the team provides opportunities for training, the web interface is easy to use and there is plenty of assistance for carrying out actions.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I have not yet explored or implemented all of the features that SciNote provides and so that is really too bad. I am also interested in better integrating data flow from SciNote into our data processing and analytics routines, but have not explored this either. My lack of time to get these items completed does not reflect on SciNote, I have nothing to report as a dislike at this time.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Traceability, organization of experimental data, setup and communication of experimental designs, recording of scientifc data including qualitative and observational data.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Thank you Angela. I am so happy to hear this - I will be sharing this with our team!

  ### 20. reliable resource to document procedures, findings and records

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

It is a reliable resource to document procedures, findings and records for our research

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

some technical features, like clicking on back button (sometime) won't take to the previous page, it will take you back to the first page on that tab

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Documentation mostly. To keep record of every single process, protocols, and experiment.

  ### 21. Excellent ELN

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Scinote has been great for our team - it was easy to implement, and its wonderful that you can search key words from a project, making it quicker to find information you need from past experiments or from within a database. Customer support is very active in addressing any problems or concerns we've had. Its definitely improved the communication flow in the lab!

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

There were some growing pains in trying to learn how to share data effectively from Scinote with outside parties. While you can export experiments as a .pdf or share an external link to data hosted on scinote, you can't export a permanent file (as opposed to giving a link) in a way that lets an outside viewer see connected files such as excel docs without also having a scinote account. A minor concern, but one I hope is improved in a future update!

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lab commbunication, finding relevant data from past experiments, lab inventory management, database management, communicating data across different departments.

  ### 22. Overall a bit clunky, but it works once you get the hang of it

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The improved folder system has been helpful. Keeping things organized is very easy. 
Customer support is also great, with prompt responses.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I wish there was a more specific lab notebook section. For example, Benchling has a fantastic version of this. There is even a way to incorporate timers into the notebook section. We would definitely be using it more frequently across the board if it had this. Instead it's sort of an annoying task that has to be completed at the end of the week. Many people in the lab still prefer writing in physical notebooks for this reason. 

We bought into using the printer and labels for inventory and quickly figured out that it's useless. We would need a handheld scanner to scan it and even then it only inputs the ID number of the item. The way it was marketed to us made it seem that we could scan the QR code with our phone to pull up information in a notes app (or something similar). Definitely the most useless offering on SciNote that we have found.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The inventory is helpful as is the ability to pull a protocol into a project

  ### 23. Using SciNote to review QC data and track calibration

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I use SciNote to review QC data that has been entered by other users, and to track the calibration status of instruments. I find SciNote's interface very easy to use. I like that SciNote offers an intuitive, changeable layout. SciNote also makes the approval flow very easy to access and view.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I have set up times and dates for tasks in SciNote, and I would like reminders to begin arriving 1 month before the tasks are due. I have set the date range for the project to start 1 month before the task is due, but still reminders will only arrive shortly before the final due date.

I use SciNote to track the calibration status of instruments. This requires me to keep an inventory of instruments, and to set up projects for instrument calibration. When calibration is performed, I upload any relevant documents to a task, and I create another task for the instrument's next calibration. I must also change the task tag in the inventory and update the calibration date in the inventory. I wish that this could be done with fewer steps.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote is helping my team to organize QC data for my review. It is also helping to organize instrument calibration information.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello! Thank you very much for your SciNote review. We are starting to see more customers using SciNote in their QC review process. Great to hear that you find SciNote easy to use!

For the issue with reminders, please make sure to let your Customer Success Manager know of this, and see if this is a bug we need to report, or something that we can tackle with other tips/tricks. They might also offer suggestions to streamline calibration tracking. Our support is ongoing, so feel free to reach out any time!

Thank you for choosing SciNote!!

  ### 29. It works but there’s a lot that doesn’t make sense

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

It's relatively easy to learn and use. I like being able to create protocols

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

There are many inconsistencies in the format and the things you can and can't do. For example, when adding things by hand you can use checkboxes that you can check off, but you can't add checkboxes to a protocol. It just feels like no one test drove it before rolling it out.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

General lab documentation

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello! Thank you for your feedback regarding SciNote. I am glad to hear that you found it easy to learn and to create protocols. 

I am afraid we will need a bit more information regarding using check boxes. The protocol itself is interactive, so you can check off each protocol steps as you go. You can also add various contents within each protocol step, including text, file attachments, tables, well plates, as well as checklists by clicking "insert content". 

I added a resource link below. Do let us know if this is not what you were referring to. We would like to explore this further to see what kind of checkboxes you would like to add. Also feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Manager - our support is ongoing, so you can contact us any time!

Thank you again for choosing SciNote!

  ### 30. Endless capabilities

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kilee p. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The many capabilities within Scinote has streamlined and made our documenting and inventories responsibilities more efficient and accurate.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

There are many updates to Scinote, and when these happen it is difficult to use the software.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping track of inventory, audit and use histories, and progess of lab notebook and documentation. Instead of having to ask or email someone to see what specific reagaent, instrument etc.. was used, I can look in Scinote. Additionally, our stock person can keep a tally of what items are low and order more without daily checks in the lab.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Thank you for your feedback, Kilee! I will make sure our Product team is aware of the update frequency issue. 

I am glad to hear that SciNote has helped your lab streamline the data management and inventory tasks. Comments like this make the team happy. Thank you for choosing SciNote!

  ### 33. Straightforward and simple ELN

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Scinote is simple to use and not over complicated, which is great for a small team. The user interface is good and organized. All of our major needs are met by this ELN and it easily integrated into our daily routine. The SciNote support team is attentive and works quickly to resolve issues.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

The workflow overview could use some additional zoom and customization options, especially in the card view. The navigator could use some sorting options.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organization - it organizes long lists of experiments and all of the data and results, which could not be easily or neatly contained in other formats, and minimizes confusion and questions about what experiment is being refered to. Having an organized inventory is also helpful in organizing our ordering methods.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello - Thank you for your feedback about our workflow! I will make sure to pass that on to our Product Team. If you don't mind, feel free to email info@scinote.net to let us know what type of customization you are looking for, so we can add that to the log for the Product team.

Will also let the CS team know your positive comments!

  ### 34. Scinote as a record taking platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Poornima N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

It has a lot of features and is user friendly offering multiple ways to take notes - adding in detailed protocols ahead of time or adding notes as scans/attachments. We have also had a good expereience with customer support and were able to have a couple of detailed training sessions.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

We would appreciate integration to take hand written notes and inegration with project management platforms such as Airtable.

Able to have all experimental notes taken live and having them organized in one place for easy access.

  ### 35. Best LIMS/ELN for our process

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ERECOV Q. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2023

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

My company uses SciNote for all of our operations on a daily basis. It's very intuitive and simple to use. Very streamlined. Great for keeping track of inventory, as well as keeping notes on procedures. I love that there's a template to include SOPs. It was also easy to get my technician trained on how to use the ELN and inventory. Integration and setup was also awesome with the help of the implementation team. Whenever I have a question, customer support is always there to help.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I wish the mobile app had more functionality like the desktop app.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It resolves any discrepancies when it comes to manually taking inventory or writing paper notes. It also makes it easy to keep test results handy and gemerate reports.

  ### 36. experience for 1 year

good for record keeping

  ### 38. Would recommend SciNote as first choice for anyone looking for ELN

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The organization and layout of the ELN is much better than anything I've previously used before. The ability to do inventory, store protocol and assign tasks to the lab saved us a lot of time and kept things on track through multiple simultaneous projects. We transitioned from Sharepoint to SciNote without too much trouble. Now it's an essential part of our daily lab work.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

There is definitely a learning curve associated when transitioning to SciNote, but their support team helps you get there in short time.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organizing all data from different projects and putting it in an accessable place and have projects in an accessable format. It also made ordering and inventory management much easier compared to using Excel.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello - Thank you for your review of SciNote. Reading this makes me so happy - I am glad we could help, and will make sure to share this with our team!!



  ### 39. Modern electronic lab book with good project management

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Niclas F. | Target validation scientist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

SciNotes UI is very appealing, simple to use and gives a great overview at any time. Projects can be set up, managed and distributed easily. The customer support is always ready to help with documentations and short videos.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

The inventory lacks a spatial overview which can help to locate samples more easily. The app is rather simple and does not yet allow to use the inventory or do major edits.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote allows us to manage projects and the experiments accordingly, distribute task and update us about the results on one platform. Thereby helping us to fulfill regulatory requirments as well as keeping the lab organized in one go.

  ### 40. Solid ELN for labs that want to transition to digital record-keeping

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

Best aspects of SciNote: 
-They have a variety of text and upload options for what type of information you want to take note of. For example you can write out text in their text box and paste in images or add tables just as you would on a Word document or you can use their Protocol section to structure your procedural steps and add images/files/table as attachments.
-It is easy to use the SciNote ELN on a tablet connected to the internet. The interface doesn't get too distorted so for a bench scientist transitioning from paper notebook to using SciNote on a tablet is an easier obstacle to overcome.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Shortcomings:
-I think SciNote's capacity to handle large images is low. Sometimes my data will not load properly on the Results tab.
-The interface for a new user gets some getting used to. It would be great if they had the note taking space look like a lab notebook, just like a sheet of paper where you can type and insert items wherever you want (this would be the most like a physical notebook).

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem we have as a growing company is record keeping and longevity of experimental notes, data and results. Because we may see a flux in personnel in the research team, we want to make sure that everyone (especially Leadership) knows what experiments have been tested, by whom, and what the raw results look like. Our research team is also cross functional with the computational group and we have had challenges getting the comp team data at a regular cadence so they can do the downstream processing and visualization. We've implemented an ELN in hopes of streamlining this data passing step and ensuring everyone is sharing their experimental observations and data in a transparent manner.

The inventory feature helps us keep track of our supplies and alleviates frequent instances of things suddenly running out.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello. Thank you for your review of SciNote! 

Hosting large images is something that we (and perhaps many other ELN providers?) are still tackling. One thing many users do is to host these images on a separate server and add a link to the file in SciNote. Also, we recently launched SciNote Edit, a desktop app that you can use to open file attachments directly in their default desktop program. This could help alleviate the issue of not loading images quickly/properly inside the Results tab. (see Resource URL for more info!).

As for having a notebook-like environment, SciNote is designed to have a little bit of structure to ensure we can capture notes in an organized way. We do understand users' need to jot down things quickly - in such cases, we recommend the following so that the notes will still be organized and searchable. 

1. Utilise the 'New Task' Quick link. This button from the Dashboard will lead you to the task page in the least number of clicks. You can use this Task as a notepad.
2. If you'd like a more organised approach to note-taking, you can create a standalone Task and name it 'Notes'. That way, notes are characterised by Experiment.
3. Another option is to use Inventories. You can create an inventory for Notes. Or you can include a new item called 'Notes' and include a Word file in a column of the type File. You can open this Word file in Word for Web and edit it on the go.

Make sure to utilise the # smart annotation to add a hyperlink when mentioning a Project/ Experiment/ Task of interest. This will ensure traceability. 

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to your CSM since our CSMs usually have a lot of tips and tricks to share with the users.

Thank you again for choosing SciNote!

  ### 41. Scinote in a small molecular biology lab

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I really like being able to see all the tasks in an experiment laid out. I find this feature especially helpful when planning or if I have been away from a particular experiment for a while.
Where we have come across issues and contacted the Scinote team, they have responded quickly and kept us up to date on progress.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

In many cases we are still writing our results in other software first (word, excel, illustrator, powerpoint) and then uploading into Scinote, because the other programs are more user friendly.
Having to switch between results and methods can also be frustrating. It would be nice if you could have a task with methods and results as part of the same screen (or have a choice of templates with that as an option).

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It means that the whole team can access protocols, experimental designs, and results. The access to protocols helps save time, and it is often easier to find specific tasks than it would be in a lab note book.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello - Thank you for your feedback! SciNote serves as a hub and provides a structure that allows you to host relevant information on the platform, to link notes to inventories and protocols, and to add metadata to your experiment. It is very flexible, but also not meant to replace all other text/graphic/presentation software that users prefer (it does come with Microsoft online integration though!). This is why we recently launched SciNote Edit (desktop app) - with it, you can open these file attachments directly from SciNote in their native desktop program. Any edits will be captured and saved directly into SciNote. This streamlines the editing of these attachment files, and creates a better experience for all our users. 

If you haven't had a chance to try out SciNote Edit, we strongly encourage you to! You can find information about SciNote edit in the link below.

  ### 42. Great for Inventory Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I love being able to have all my inventory in one location. It can keep up with anything you want to add. Its really easy to use and we use it frequently.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

None that I can currently think of. It's pretty straightforward.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can keep up with expiration dates, lot numbers, and quantity of any item in our inventory. We also use it to document location for cryo tubes.

  ### 43. A good way to stay organized as a team

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

SciNote is a good way to stay aligned with your team. It provides one place for everyone to upload files, protocols, results, etc. As long as your entire team is dedicated to keeping it updated, it is an excellent tool to stay organized.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

SciNote often changes the format of their website slightly, which can be annoying. Once I learn how to use the new format, it often changes. Also, the results tab can be extremely slow to load; I often have to refresh the tab multiple times for it to actually load the results files.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote helps us keep records and stay organized as a team.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Thank you for your feedback for us! I will pass that on to our Product team to make sure they are aware of the user interface and loading issue you mentioned. Do feel free to reach out to your CSM directly so we can narrow in on the loading issue - would be good to know what file types are on the results page.

Thank you for your wonderful comment about SciNote helping you stay organized with the team - and thank you also for choosing SciNote!

  ### 44. Seems great for biologists, not so much for chemists

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

It is very easy to organize experiences and to link it with other materials. The stock management part is very usefull as well.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

I miss being able to inser other objects in the text part of an entry. I like to mix and match text, pictures and tables in the same field.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I only use the lab inventory management anymore, since the ELN wasn't doing what I wanted out of it as a chemist, for the ELN I now use elabFTW.

  ### 45. Staying organized is the name of the product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Umed T. B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2023

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

SciNote is the most intuitive and descriptive electronic lab notebook that could be found to date. It immensily helps to stay organized and make important notes during the experiments. The layout of the website make it very easy to find necessary experiment, tasks, and the specific steps. Morevover, it makes it much easier to stay organized and keep track of experiment progression. The ability to share planned experiments and assign the task helps to keep all the project members organized. Seamless dulication of every aspect of the experiments provides the sought-after release from the necessaity to re-write every step over and over again - all is needed is to modify key steps for the given experiment.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

There are some missing features that would have made the website even better. Specifically, the tasks connection only presented in the overview of the experiment, while no such relationship reflected on the Navigator bar. Website is not very well optimized for the touchscreen. And the app version feels like a beta-test. The SciNote is constantly upgrading, so in the future most of the issues should be addressed.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Record keeping of the experiment and keep everyone organized and on the same page (pan intended).

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello Umed. I am glad you enjoy using SciNote! I know the visualized workflow/task relationship is one of the strengths of SciNote. I will make sure to pass on your feedback about task relationship in the Navigation panel to our Product team. 

For the app, it is indeed in beta - which also means that your feedback is extremely helpful for us right now as we further improve and develop features for the app. If you have suggestions for the app, please email them to support@scinote.net or let your CMS know. You can also read a little bit about how we developed the app and the plan for it in the future in our blog post (link below). 

Thank you again for choosing SciNote!

  ### 46. Great way to organize data.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bradley S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

It can create a testing plan from your own format or a premade format. It helps me standardize the work we do on a daily basis.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Some times it hard to navigate and find the location of some files I have created. This mainly occurs when I am switching from mobel to desk top versions.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Digital data collection and housing of data.

  ### 47. Perfect for effiency

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** KARAN S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The Layout is perfect! It provides a seamless workspace. While they are still improving, the ELN does provide a base for efficient reporting of data. Navigating through each section is simple and quick. Not to mention the commenting section does provide a good basis for optimally reviewing data. And the Autosave feature a plus, without us having to worry about data loss while working. Also, creating templates for similar experiments is much easier.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

Tagging other experiments or tasks is still a challenge sometimes. Also, I think there is still some room for improvement in tagging other person for review or leaving a comment for them in a task. Because once a person views the comment in the bell icon, the notification is turned off. It would be great if SciNote could incorporate a way to differentiate the notifications based on, 'yet to resolve' and 'resolved' so that the resolved onces do no show up and the ones that are not resolved yet still appear on the bell icon.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It improves efficiency in data reporting. As we know typing is much faster than writing, it fills the gap for populating data over a computer. Not to mention, reviewing the data is also much easier if reported properly.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Thank you, Karan, for sharing your experience. We are so happy to hear that you have found SciNote helpful in improving efficiency in your organization!

Please feel free to let your CS Manager know about your challenge when it comes to tagging. The Manager might be able to provide some tips and tricks to assist with the tracking of comments. Our CS team is also in direct contact with the Product team to advocate for improvements and features - much of which are user-driven. So your suggestions will make a difference and will help us prioritize.

(I will also pass this comment on to the Product team, as well).

Thank you for choosing SciNote!

  ### 48. Pretty good ELN

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Caitlin M. | Senior Research Scientist, RNA Biology, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2023

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

The capabilities to organize experiments within folders, and tasks within experiments, are sophisticated enough to represent the logical relationship of experiments and tasks to one another.

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

This is at least partly my fault, because I could use tags and don't: if I use the search feature to try to find a protocol template, search terms within the protocol name are not always sufficient to find the protocol. I also haven't found an efficient way to jump to the subset of templates that I have authored, bypassing others. 
The default level of zooming, when I look at a workflow, is such that navigation panes take up most of my screen, with only about a third of the screen left for the experiment itself.
While I understand the need for automatic timestamping, it would be helpful to me if it were possible to display alternative timestamps that more accurately reflect when the work was done, in cases where a protocol is performed over a series of days and I only update SciNote at the end.
It would be great if SciNote could be automatically integrated with software like Airtable.

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SciNote keeps my data organized in a way that makes it possible for me to find the final version of whatever I'm looking for. Even when I'm on my own laptop, with full access to all my files, I will often pull up SciNote to make sure I'm looking at the final version of whatever I'm looking for.

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello Caitlin,

Thank you for your feedback! I want to take this opportunity to provide some ideas from our CS team to see if we can improve your experience - 3.5 stars is definitely not what we strive for!

Re: searching for protocol templates, especially the ones authored by you
- When looking for protocol templates authored by you, take advantage of the search + filters inside the protocol template repository (top right above the column headings bar, you will see a magnifying glass icon and a funnel icon), as opposed to the global search. There is a "published by" filter available, where you can specify the author of the protocol template. 
- Can also consider using the "keywords" field within the protocol template

Re: Zooming, workflow, and navigation
- Consider closing the navigator to allow more space for the workflow area. We might need to see how you use the interface to provide better suggestions; feel free to contact your CSM about this!

Re: automatic time stamping & alternative
- We would suggest marking each step as complete on each day that you complete it. Many of our users have found this quite helpful for them to track what's completed and keep them on top of the tasks.
- Other options are to come back at the end of the experiment and write down in the text editor the date each step was completed, or add the time the step is completed to each step.

As the timestamp functionality is tied with the integrity of the audit trail, we will not be able to enable the ability to edit timestamps or input alternative timestamps. This is more a feature itself to ensure proper traceability.

Re: Airtable
- We have reached out to the Product team and added this as a suggestion. We will also pass on your comment re: improving search bar capabilities. 

Finally, I want to mention that your Customer Success Manager is available not only to provide free onboarding and training, but also to serve as a resource whenever you have questions or want to give us suggestions. No question is too small - please consider reaching out to us! If you are not sure who your CSM is, simply email support@scinote.net, and we will be ready to assist.

Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope some of the ideas above help improve your SciNote experience!

  ### 49. Helps in very well organizing stuff

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Syeda Zainab  A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2024

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

That you can link different experiments- Makes it easier to follow up

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

If i click 'back' cursor, it always takes me to the main page and I have to restart

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The data is very well organised and makes it easier to follow up each set of experiment.

  ### 50. Useful but still has some bumps

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

**What do you like best about SciNote?**

I like the organization of having steps, it stimplifies the procedural process and increases organization which is helpful

**What do you dislike about SciNote?**

A few things. First the difficulty of using exponentials in SciNote is annoying, because the home bar does not scroll with you you have to go up to the top click exponent then type it then scroll back up again to turn it off. It would be much better if it had a button like word does for expoenetial easy on and off

**What problems is SciNote solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is much easier to keep track of and share data. This is very beneficial because it cuts down on paper waste and allows for date compiling to be easier and all in one place

**Official Response from Theresa Liao:**

> Hello! Thank you for your feedback regarding the difficulty in using exponential. Will be passing this on to our team to see if improvements can be made to the home bar of the rich text editor in the future to improve your editing experience!
