An open notebook is supposed to enhance the workflow of the researcher maintaining the record and provide the complete record of an experiment for others to follow and verify. In this module, we give you the tips needed to maintain a useful notebook.
Picking the right platform to launch your open notebook can be daunting. In this module, we introduce the most common hosts for open notebooks and make it easy for you to choose the right one for your research.
Often there is worry that open notebooks can impede intellectual property rights. In this module, we discuss the basics of IP and how open notebooks are affected and their effects on research IP.
In this module, we discuss the incentives to recording and maintaining an open notebook. One incentive: publication will be a snap! Read on to find out more.
In this module, we review different aspects of the open science movement and explore open notebook science as a branch of this movement.

1: CREATE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT
Go to Facebook and fill out the “Create a New Account” section. You can change everything later, so feel free to be honest about your name and everything else and if you want to change the account to represent an organization later, you can. Once you’ve submitted that information, you’ll have to verify your identity by entering a code sent from Facebook to your email address or phone. Following the code verification, Facebook will walk you through how to set up your profile. You will definitely want a profile picture (which you can change later), but finding people you know is optional at this point, as is touring privacy settings. Either of these activities can be done later, once your account is set up. I’d recommend taking the privacy tour, though, because it’s only 4 short screens to look through and the first screen is especially useful- it shows you how to set viewing privileges for every post you will make.
And that’s it- you’re ready to go!
2. SEND US YOUR USERNAME
A. Computer view: click on your profile picture and your first name at the very top of the screen (the red box in the image below). Then read the address bar in your browser, which should say something like “facebook.com/username”. Please send us the “username” part of that address.
B. Mobile view: Your username is currently unavailable to view from a mobile device, so head on over to a computer.
