Case study illustrates how to collect data, convert it into a standardised format then deposit it in an accessible repository

Researchers in Germany have devised a process for transferring cyclic voltammetry measurements from lab instruments to electronic notebooks, to yield open, standardised data that is rich with metadata. The workflow provides a framework for other scientists wanting to store and manage their experimental data so that it adheres to Fair data principles.
