Supporting the reviewing of thermophysical and thermochemical research publications (IUPAC Technical Report)

In plain language

This project developed checklists, resources, and computer-based tools to support scientific reviewing in material property research. The aim is to streamline the reviewing process, making it easier and more efficient. These tools help ensure that scientific publications include all necessary primary and supporting information about substances, conditions, properties, and techniques. This detailed reporting, using understandable terminology, is crucial for ensuring the reproducibility of research results. The underlying principles and ideas from this initiative are designed to be adaptable and extended to other scientific disciplines, promoting higher standards across various fields.

Key takeaways

  • Checklists, resources, and computer-based tools were developed to support scientific reviewing.
  • The tools specifically target material property research publications.
  • The primary goal is to make the reviewing process easier and more efficient.
  • The initiative aims to ensure scientific communications provide sufficient detail for research reproducibility.
  • The project's principles are designed to be extendable to other scientific areas.

Abstract

Abstract In order to support scientific reviewing in the area of material property research and make the reviewing process easier and more efficient, checklists covering typical problems, lists of available resources, and computer-based and online tools to help compose reviewers’ reports have been created. Our intention is to ensure that scientific communications show necessary and sufficient primary and supporting information about substances studied, conditions, properties, and techniques of interest with understandable terminology, in detail assuring reproducibility of the obtained results. The principles and ideas of this project can be extended to other scientific areas.
