During the workday, laboratory personnel generate data and information. That intellectual material forms the basis of decisions about product quality, research directions, someone’s health, and other matters. Data and information must be entered into reports, computer systems, databases, and software packages to be useful. While that seems like a trivial task, it isn’t, not because typing a few keystrokes is complicated but because the problems resulting from errors can be severe. As such, this article aims to explore the methods and ramifications of data entry issues in the execution of laboratory work.
