You are a graduate student working in a lab where data are accumulated for the purposes of measuring the optical absorption of a variety of samples. For each sample there is a large data file stored on a computer in the lab. In reviewing a lab notebook from one of your predecessors in the lab and comparing that to data published by the lab, you find a gap. That is, some of the data that were published are not accounted for in the lab notebook. Furthermore, you are unable to locate the computer files for this missing data. You talk to a fellow graduate student about this situation, and he tells you that you should be very concerned about the situation and that it should be reported. Question: What are some possible situations that could explain the "missing" data, and how should you proceed for each?

Sagot :

The possible situations that could explain the missing data of the experiment are that maybe those missing data are kept in a separate file and the person who made the file forgot to update it in the lab notebook.

It is also possible that the data which is said to be missing may be stored in another computer by other lab members for further research purposes.

If I need to find the lost file then I will make sure that I talk with every member working in the lab, is involved and works on the data and stores the files, and make sure to recheck the lab notebook in case any information might have been missed by my eyes.
