Chemotion LabIMotion
LabIMotion is a software that was built as a generic extension of the established Software Chemotion-ELN. LabIMotion was developed at KIT in the institute IBCS-FMS and was funded by the research data management initiative ExU-RDM at KIT.
Origin of LabIMotion ELN
The software development team at IBCS-FMS is developing the electronic lab notebook Chemotion ELN together with many other developers and scientists in Germany. This development was included in the strategic projects of the National Research Data Infrastructure NFDI4Chem in 2019. The functions of Chemotion ELN are specifically designed for chemistry purposes. Many requests with respect to the use of the software in other disciplines were not covered, therefore, its use was recommended for chemists only. During the last years, the direct need for ELN software in other disciplines was expressed at KIT in particular from scientists in engineering, natural sciences and materials sciences. The project LabIMotion ELN was started to offer solutions for those scientists. The development team at IBCS extended Chemotion ELN in a generic manner to allow its use by other disciplines.
The Power of LabIMotion ELN
Customized Functionality for Scientists
LabIMotion ELN extends the software Chemotion ELN systematically with respect to functions and available modules. The extension allows the ELN software to be used either with or without chemistry functionality. The most important change that comes with the implementation of LabIMotion ELN is the option to design new modules which can be adapted to the needs of the scientists. The modules can be connected to each other and therefore, a clear assignment of materials and samples to processes and workflows can be gained.

Additional applications are available in the LabIMotion Template Hub, a platform designed to enhance resource sharing and streamline access to valuable templates contributed by researchers and professionals.
Streamlined Research Publication
The LabIMotion ELN, in addition to its extensive functionality, helps scientists access Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and streamlines the online research publication process. This support simplifies the process of publishing research results and ensures that scientists from different disciplines can efficiently share their research with the world.

Have a Great Idea?
For innovative feature requests, the Chemotion team encourages users to create a post on the Discussion board. This method provides the core team with a more accurate gauge of the features in high demand, which is superior to GitHub issues, as the latter can be more challenging to prioritize.
The Chemotion team kindly requests that users refrain from submitting Pull Requests for new features, especially substantial ones, as there may already be ongoing work or such features may be part of future plans. The first step should be to initiate a conversation with the Chemotion team!
