Guidelines for keeping a laboratory notebook

An engineering or industrial research/development lab will likely require a specific type notebook with prenumbered pages and places for date and investigator’s and supervisor’s signatures on each page. The bare minimum entries for an academic lab course, for each lab study, should include title of the lab study; introduction and objectives; detailed procedures and data (recorded in the lab itself); summary. After you put your film cassette in the freezer, simply write Continued, page ___, then enter the date and title of your other project, and continue to record information.
