Description/Abstract

A typical laboratory notebook or journal article rarely contains all the information required to replicate the experiment reported on. Within the synthetic laboratory, basic information such as full experimental details, work-up procedures and colour changes are poorly reported, if at all. Fundamental information such as laboratory temperature, humidity and movement within the laboratory is almost never reported, although any of these can have an effect on the outcome of the experiment. Providing mechanisms to automatically capture and make this data available through easy access web services can improve the data collect and assist in finding sources of error should one occur
