The aim is to emphasize the importance of integrating FAIR principles from the very beginning of data creation.
Examined the role of electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) in supporting FAIR practices.
Discussed the impact of early decisions on data capture, structure, and workflow.
Highlighted practical experience in the effective implementation and configuration of ELNs.
Effective implementation of ELNs leads to improved data usability and reusability.
Thoughtful user engagement and ongoing training are essential for fostering genuine FAIR practices.
Simply digitizing poor practices does not enhance data quality or compliance with FAIR principles.
