[[File:"Citation needed".jpg|thumb|left|Quality citations lend reputability to LIMSwiki content and confidence to readers.]]'''For many citations are a necessary evil.''' I try not to think of them that way. Rather, citations give the written content — whether it's about a [[LIMS]] vendor, an [[:Category:Open-source software|open-source software]] solution, or a piece of laboratory equipment — credibility, and they give readers more confidence in what they're reading. <br /><br />That said, I want to 1. remind users of the [[LIMSWiki:Citation guidelines|LIMSwiki citation guidelines]] and 2. offer a little help. I know for beginner wiki editors citations can be daunting. If after reading the guidelines you still need a little help, write a brief message on [[User talk:Shawndouglas|my talk page]], and I'll help how I can. We might even be able to organize an online tutorial together. | |||

Welcome to LIMSwiki.org, the laboratory, health, and science informatics encyclopedia.
LIMSwiki is a collaborative wiki dedicated to the scientific community, featuring organized, documented, and up-to-date content regarding all aspects of laboratory informatics, bioinformatics, and health informatics. LIMSwiki also strives to maintain relevant knowledge about laboratory equipment as well as commercial and open-source software likely to be used in a laboratory setting. This also includes the vendors of such equipment and software. Like any community wiki, the value and success of LIMSwiki is dependent upon the scientific community contributing their vast knowledge through the creation of relevant articles and editing of existing articles where knowledge is absent. If you wish to enrich the content of this wiki or have something of value to add, please request an account and get started. |

Key laboratory informatics vendors
What does it mean to be "key" for the purpose of this ranking? The criterion for a vendor being listed here: the vendor's LIMSwiki page must have a cited (from a publicly-available source) price list. Those with demonstration videos are given higher preference; vendors are ranked by number of videos.
