Abstract
  • A logbook is an essential component of any research project, whether you are a research scientist or a research student. The logbook will serve as the primary source of record for lab activity as well as thought processes for data analysis and experiment planning. The study discovered that electronic logbooks (E-Logbook) can increase data quality and generate more accurate findings than traditional logbooks. Additionally, utilizing an e-logbook improves the monitoring process and ensures that the research is completed within the time frame. Therefore, the primary purpose of this project is to develop a real-time system for monitoring postgraduate students' research activities. The development part of this system uses the adapted agile model and the theory of Eight Golden Rules for Interface Design. Furthermore, to assure the effective and smooth operation of the e-logbook system, a test plan and questionnaires will be conducted.
