This is a list of some of the important figures and tables for a final MARVEL publication. Note not all figures/ tables are relevant for all molecules, but this is a good baseline.
1) Structure of major electronic and/or vibrational energy levels
2) Map of experimental measurements between vibronic (or vibrational) bands
3) Table of papers with molecular constants
4) Extract from MARVEL input file
5) Summary list of MARVEL input transition data
6) Extract from MARVEL output files
7) Summary list of MARVEL output energy data
For diatomics, include
Microsoft Powerpoint file to help get you started
Microsoft PowerPoint document to help get you started.
For example, harmonic vibrational frequencies, anharmonic constants, rotational constants, etc. These are very useful for other purposes and since you are completely a thorough literature review here, it is often worth compiling a list of papers with these tables.
For diatomics, papers since around 1970/1979 is relevant because this is when Huber & Herzberg compiled their list of diatomic constants.
This is probably worth doing very early in the process to clarify the MARVEL input format.
Most diatomics should follow the below format recommendation.
This is an example for a diatomic with electronic transitions.

This is the latex that allows the above table to be created.
Note this uses longtable, which means the latex smoothly allows multiple pages for one table without problems - highly recommended for this particular table as it is likely to go over multiple pages!
