They also allow files (e.g. images, spreadsheets) to be attached to text and the attachments to be viewed, annotated and searched. Such systems include Word, Evernote and Dropbox. Basic systems have the advantage of being inexpensive, easily accessible and already familiar to many researchers. However, considerable effort is required to achieve the functionality of a traditional ELN with such a system {% cite bobrov_2021 vandendorpe_2020 %}. +## Specialised systems +Specialised systems have all the features of basic systems and more. They have the ability to capture freehand and chemical drawings {% cite lma_rdmwg %}. They also offer subject-specific features/editors and templates. They also allow task assignment between colleagues, complex rights management (i.e. with roles and individual rights), basic inventory management (i.e. allowing the quantity and location of samples and reagents to be managed) and extensions/APIs for customisation {% cite bobrov_2021 vandendorpe_2020 %}. Last but not least, they comply with the [Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 Part 11](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?CFRPart=11). This part requires full audit trails (i.e. all previous versions of a note are stored and changes are logged), electronic signatures on completed records, witnessing and freezing (i.e. making a note immutable after the author and a witness have signed it), and prevents the deletion of records by their author. Such systems include Arxspan, Biovia, eCat, eLabJournal, eLabFTW, iLabber, Labfolder and RSpace. Specialised systems have the advantage of offering easy entry through free online versions and the possibility of local installation and data storage. They can also be integrated into your own IT environment via APIs {% cite bobrov_2021 vandendorpe_2020 %}. + + # Further resources * [ELN Finder - Demo](https://eln-finder.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/home) - Tool to help researchers searching and selecting a suitable ELN thanks to more than 40 filter criteria. * ELN Filter - Selection of ELNs that are suitable for the life sciences and that can be filtered out according to criteria ([English](https://www.publisso.de/fileadmin/user_upload/PUBLISSO/PUBLISSO_ELN-Filter_2021-06_english.xlsx), [German](https://www.publisso.de/fileadmin/user_upload/PUBLISSO/PUBLISSO_ELN-Filter_2020-12-01.xlsx)).
