The '''''Open-Source Lab: How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs''''' by [[Joshua Pearce|Joshua M. Pearce]] was published in 2014 by [[Elsevier]].

The academic book is a guide, which details the development of [[free and open-source hardware]] primarily for [[scientist]]s and university [[Faculty (academic staff)|faculty]].<ref>[http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/book-of-the-day-how-to-build-your-own-hardware-and-reduce-research-costs/2013/12/28 Book of the Day: How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs], Michel Bauwens, [[P2P Foundation]] 12/28/2013</ref> It provides step-by-step instructions on building [[laboratory hardware]] and [[scientific instruments]]. It also provides instructions on [[digital design sharing]], [[Arduino]] microcontrollers, [[RepRap]] [[3D printing|3D Printers]] for scientific use and how to use [[open-source hardware]] licenses. ''[[The Guardian]]'' discusses how ideas in the ''Open-Source Lab'' could enable 3D printing to offer [[developing-world]] scientists savings on replica lab kits.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/feb/21/3d-printing-offer-developing-savings-replica-kit 3D printing could offer developing world savings on replica lab kit] - ''The Guardian'', Friday 21 February 2014 01.59 EST</ref> The Open-Source Lab book has been covered extensively by the media.<ref>[http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/11/18/mtu-prof-writes-3d-printing-guide-for-scientists-on-a-budget/ MTU Prof Writes 3D Printing Guide For Scientists On A Budget] - CBS 11-18-2013</ref><ref>[httphttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131118102245.htm DIY and Save: A Scientist's Guide to Making Your Own Lab Equipment] - Science Daily 11-13-2013</ref><ref>[http://powerelectronics.com/blog/book-covers-diy-open-source-hardware-science-projects Book Covers DIY Open-Source Hardware for Science Projects ] - Power Electronics</ref><ref>[http://www.3ders.org/articles/20131118-mtu-prof-writes-3d-printing-guide-to-making-your-own-low-cost-lab-equipment.html MTU Prof writes 3D printing guide to making your own low-cost lab equipment] - 3Drs</ref><ref>[http://machinedesign.com/blog/how-build-lab-equipment-open-source-hardware How to build lab equipment with open-source hardware] - Machine Design</ref><ref>[http://www.nanowerk.com/news2/gadget/newsid=33287.php 3D printing can reduce science lab equipment costs by 90%] - Nanowerk</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kurzweilai.net/open-source-lab-how-to-build-your-own-hardware-and-reduce-research-costs|title=Open-Source Lab: How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs - KurzweilAI|work=kurzweilai.net}}</ref><ref>[http://www.geek.com/science/3d-printing-used-to-create-a-basement-laboratory-on-the-cheap-1577594/ 3D printing used to create a basement laboratory on the cheap] - Geek</ref><ref>[http://www.rapidreadytech.com/2013/11/rapid-ready-roundup-microsoft-3d-builder-open-source-lab-dmg-mori-and-victorias-secret/Rapid Ready Roundup: Microsoft 3D Builder, Open Source Lab, DMG Mori, and Victoria’s Secret] - Rapid Ready Tech</ref><ref>[http://www.labonline.com.au/articles/64439-Equip-your-lab-for-less-3D-print-your-equipment Equip your lab for less - 3D print your equipment] -Labonline</ref><ref>
