lab notes
Research data jottings
Lab notes are the written record a scientist or researcher keeps during experiments—documenting procedures, observations, measurements, and results as work progresses.
Good lab notes are detailed enough that someone else could replicate the experiment: Her lab notes showed the exact temperature at each stage.
In professional and academic settings, lab notes serve as legal documentation of when discoveries were made and by whom.
