 ELNs increase the efficiency of everyday tasks by providing time-saving features and functions such as search and filtering {% cite vandendorpe_nd %}. ELNs also take advantage of standardisation {% cite rathmann_2021 %}: they have the ability to create templates such as protocols, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and workflows. This facilitates data documentation with metadata {% cite vandendorpe_nd %} and supports clarity and organisation of data and protocols {% cite n4m_wc_elns_2023 %}. ELNs also provide ubiquitous access {% cite vandendorpe_nd %}: protocols, observations, notes and other data can be entered using a computer or mobile device {% cite lma_rdmwg %}.
 
 ## Connection to a digital research environment
-ELNs are linked to a digital research environment {% cite vandendorpe_nd %}, for example through their import and export capabilities {%  cite bobrov_2021 %}. ELNs can also provide seamless interfaces to other programmes, such as Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) {%  cite bobrov_2021 %}. This networked aspect of ELNs enables them to play a central role in an institution's [Research Data Management](https://nfdi4microbiota.github.io/nfdi4microbiota-knowledge-base/Research-Data-Management/02-rdm) (RDM) strategy.

Indeed, ELNs can be linked and/or contribute to almost each step of the research data lifecycle.
 
+### Data collection
+ELNs can automatically record results from measuring instruments {% cite vandendorpe_2020 rathmann_2021 %} and retrieve data from databases for actively used data {% cite assmann_2022 Krause_2016 %}.
