Choosing and Implementing a Cloud-based Service for Your Laboratory (2023): This guide looks at the specifics of cloud computing and applies them to the world of laboratory software. It includes appendices of cloud and security service providers, as well as request for information (RFI) questionnaires.
Clinical, Health, and Scientific Informatics Programs in Higher Education (2021): I was requested to seek out as many relevant clinical, health, and scientific informatics programs in higher education as possible, research and develop a university page for each entity, and then detail in tabular form all the programs for easier comparison. Note that for this portfolio, none of the 272 university pages are loaded; a link to the original showing the full extent of the work is included on the intro page of this portfolio version.
Comprehensive Guide to Developing and Implementing a Cybersecurity Plan (2023): This guide examines cybersecurity planning in the scope of several frameworks. "The guide attempts to be helpful to most any organization attempting to navigate the challenges of cybersecurity planning, with a slight bias towards laboratories implementing and updating information systems."
The Comprehensive Guide to Physician Office Laboratory Setup and Operation (2022): This guide holistically examines the current state of the physician office laboratory (POL), with added context post-COVID-19. Testing, equipment, data management, reimbursement, and more are addressed for this somewhat niche laboratory type.
COVID-19 Testing, Reporting, and Information Management in the Laboratory (2021): This was a unique guide in that it was difficult to keep contemporaneous, given the rapidly evolving state of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with trying to meet other work obligations. The first iteration came out in May 2020 as more details were emerging, and multiple updates went into it until September 2021. The client decided to cease updates at that point.
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Final Rule on Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods: Considerations for Labs and Informatics Vendors (2022):
The Laboratories of Our Lives: Labs, Labs Everywhere! (2022):
Laboratory Informatics Buyer's Guide for Medical Diagnostics and Research (2022):
Laboratory, Scientific, and Health Informatics Buyer's Guide (2023):
LIMS Buyer’s Guide for Cannabis Testing Laboratories (2021):
LIMS Selection Guide for Food Safety and Quality (2023):
LIMS Selection Guide for ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratories (2023):
LIMS Selection Guide for Manufacturing Quality Control (2023):
LIMSpec 2022 R2 (2022): This guide identifies laboratory informatics functionality requirements for laboratories in general, with some specialty functionality, and presents them in a tabular fashion. Includes a .docx version.
LIMSpec for Cannabis Testing (2023): This guide identifies laboratory informatics functionality requirements for cannabis testing laboratories and presents them using the LIMSpec 2022 R2 specification. Includes a .docx version.
Past, Present, and Future of Cannabis Laboratory Testing and Regulation in the United States (2022):

The Application of Informatics to Scientific Work: Laboratory Informatics for Newbies (2021): Industry veteran Joe Liscouski takes an introductory look at the "role that informatics can play in assisting scientists, engineers, and technicians in their efforts."
Are You a Laboratory Automation Engineer? (2021): Representing some of his earlier work (originally published in 2006), Liscouski discusses the concept of "laboratory automation engineering," the application of laboratory informatics concepts across a scientific enterprise.
Considerations in the Automation of Laboratory Procedures (2021): Automating laboratories isn't a straightforward task, and in this entry Liscouski gets into the the finer details of transitioning from standard laboratory operations to workflows with automated systems.
Directions in Laboratory Systems: One Person's Perspective (2021):
Elements of Laboratory Technology Management (2021):
HIPAA Compliance: An Introduction (2022):
Laboratory Informatics: Information and Workflows (2024):
Laboratory Technology Planning and Management: The Practice of Laboratory Systems Engineering (2020):
Notes on Instrument Data Systems (2020):
Organizational Memory and Laboratory Knowledge Management: Its Impact on Laboratory Information Flow and Electronic Notebooks (2024):
Planning for Disruptions in Laboratory Operations (2022):
The Practical Guide to the U.S. Physician Office Laboratory (2014):
A Science Student's Guide to Laboratory Informatics (2023):

Question and answer articles

Encyclopedic articles

Here are some representative examples of encyclopedic articles I've created over the years on LIMSwiki.

Topics

Cloud vendors

Journal articles

I've added an open-access journal article to LIMSwiki on a weekly basis since mid-2015. Each article received soft editing for grammar and readability, with occasional fixes to broken URLs and even missing citations. The culmination of these edited journal articles can be found in the Journal: namespace of LIMSwiki.org.

Help guides

MediaWiki basics (2015): This is a set of guides briefly addressing how to use MediaWiki markdown language on LIMSwiki.
Using the Internet Archive (2017): This brief help article intended to help new MediaWiki users use the Internet Archive as part of the research and citation efforts.
