If you have ever wanted an electronic laboratory notebook, now might be a good time to get one. If you are at an institution like UQ that subscribes to BioMed Central, LabArchives software is currently being made freely available to you.

Why has BioMed Central brokered this deal? Because LabArchives is prepared to work with BMC to make datasets linked to peer-reviewed publications available under terms which permit unfettered reuse. Authors who upload their data get enhanced storage capacity and citable DOIs for their datasets as part of the package. Find out more about the software here.

The BMC Blog has more and there is a press release too. But this could be an offer you can't refuse.
