- all activities should be recorded at the time they are generated or observed (i.e. recorded without a significant delay)
- any changes related to the study execution must be documented - why, when and by whom (when documents are amended, one should make sure not to over-write the original version)
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET
- To implement measures securing data integrity (see section 3.1.2 for details)
- To consider implementing a witnessing if generated results are intended to support intellectual property claims
