  • from Seminars: notes from Seminars organized by Seminar series
  • from the Web: just like your browser favorites, except with searchable notes
  • from eMail: include those important, substantive emails from colleagues
  • Entries on the Knowledge form are private to the user, unless the user grants permissions to others

Your main knowledge source:

  • Import text files of paper references, with abstracts, from PubMed directly or from Endnote™ into labElephant
  • Include pdfs of papers for your personal library, one click away
  • Make notes of key learnings in Nuggets
  • Share papers with other members of the group
  • Participate in a virtual Journal Club for the paper within the lab by sharing the Nuggets you write

Nuggets are your takeaways in a nutshell:

  • Nuggets are 255 character text fields that are used to record the essential points that are important to YOU
  • Multiple Nuggets can be made from any paper, or from any reference in any of the knowledge sources
  • Nuggets are the result of your analysis
  • Nuggets are fully searchable, and provide easy access to the original information sources
  • Nuggets can be organized into Topic and Subtopics

Ingots contain your syntheses:

  • Ingots are paragraphs of essentially unlimited length
  • Ingots are made from Nuggets brought together under the Foundry tab of the Knowledge form
  • Ingots are the result of your synthesis of the information in the Nuggets you choose to include
  • Ingots can be used to create backgrounds for Experiments: once made, they can be connected to any Experiment, without unnecessary duplication

Create bibliography-ready Ingots:

  • Nuggets made from papers imported from Endnote™ automatically include the citation number Endnote™ needs to create a citation
  • Ingots made from such Nuggets, when pasted into a Word document, are ready for bibliography generation with the Endnote™ Add-in
  • Users can elect to use Endnote™ Web, which is free, and still make bibliography-ready Ingots, even from papers imported directly from PubMed
  • Bibliography-ready Ingots are great for preparing paragraphs for manuscripts and grant applications

Create your own in-house virtual Journal Club:

  • Papers are easily shared between members of a group, on the knowledge form
  • When users make Nuggets, they can elect to make the Nugget public to the group
  • Then, when users view Nuggets for a paper on a public Nuggets form, all of the public Nuggets are shown for that paper
  • This avoids the scheduling constraints of in-person meetings, and also creates an ongoing record of discussion around the paper
