Electronic research notebooks (ERNs) are used under a variety of names: electronic laboratory notebooks, digital laboratory notebooks, electronic field notebooks, and electronic engineering logbooks, to name a few. ERNs are common in industry and increasingly common in academia. This scoping review explores the literature describing the various uses and application of ERNs in an educational and teaching context. Using a common search string and eight indices and databases—Scopus, Web of Science, Engineering Village, ERIC, PubMed, LISTA, Scifinder-n, and ASEE—the study identified 38 articles that describe educational and teaching uses of ERNs. The types of ERNs used, the fields in which they were used, and the educational level of their use are explored. Furthermore, the scoping review discusses common advantages and disadvantages of ERNs with respect to paper notebooks as identified by the literature and highlights issues of equity and access that ERNs implicate. Finally, directions for future studies and actions are offered.

电子研究笔记本 (ERN) 有多种名称：电子实验室笔记本、数字实验室笔记本、电子现场笔记本和电子工程日志等。 ERN 在工业界很常见，并且在学术界也越来越常见。本范围界定综述探讨了描述 ERN 在教育和教学环境中的各种用途和应用的文献。该研究使用通用搜索字符串和八个索引和数据库（Scopus、Web of Science、Engineering Village、ERIC、PubMed、LISTA、Scifinder-n 和 ASEE）确定了 38 篇描述 ERN 教育和教学用途的文章。探讨了使用的 ERN 类型、使用领域以及使用的教育水平。此外，范围界定审查讨论了文献中确定的 ERN 相对于纸质笔记本的共同优点和缺点，并强调了 ERN 所涉及的公平和访问问题。最后，提出了未来研究和行动的方向。
