  • Title: A computerised experimental file.
    Author: Schröder J, Goosen DJ.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1985 Dec; 56(4):201-3. PubMed ID: 3841777.
    Abstract:
    A commercially available program which integrates word processing, spreadsheet, data base, and graph facilities, is used on a microcomputer to write a proforma for an experimental file. The proforma file contains empty forms for all envisaged documentation collected during the experiment's duration. This includes an outline protocol, cost estimate, literature search, detailed protocol, data collection forms, project account, and final report. The program allows linking of spreadsheets, thus for instance enabling date and time information entered on the daily log of events to be automatically transferred to the labour cost form. Introduction of this concept has greatly reduced the amount of time spent on research documentation and the risk of data adulteration through repeated transcription. It has also improved control over research expenses and standardization of trial document formats.
