These pages cover the typical requirements for presenting analytical data for publication. Alongside the reporting of experimental data, most journals require suitably processed and presented data (eg spectroscopic and chromatographic results) in supplementary data which accompanies the publication. Whilst few journals have very specific guidelines or style guides for the presentation for the presentation of this information (unlike data listings which are usually tightly prescribed), the usual expectations is for data which is presented in a consistent manner, where it is easy for the reader to understand what is being presented. The data will form an important part of the peer review process, and reviewers may require revision of the submitted material prior to publication.

The links on this page are organised by specific data types and provides general guidance to help with data presentation. Examples of processed and presented data can also be found on the example compounds pages.
