"A roadmap for LIMS at NIST Material Measurement Laboratory"

Over the past decade, emerging technology in laboratory and computational science has changed the landscape for research by accelerating the production, processing, and exchange of data. The NIST Material Measurement Laboratory community recognizes that to keep pace with the transformation of measurement science to a digital paradigm, it is essential to implement laboratory information management systems (LIMS). Effective introduction of LIMS early in the research life cycle provides direct support for planning and execution of experiments and accelerating research productivity. From this perspective, LIMS are not passive entities with isolated interaction, but rather key resources supporting collaboration, scientific integrity, and transfer of knowledge over time. They serve as a delivery system for organizational contributions to the broader federated data community, supporting both controlled and open access, determined by the sensitivity of the research ...
