Resolution on the publication of calorimetric and thermodynamic data

FEB 01, 1961
The following resolution was adopted by the 15th Calorimetry Conference in the belief that it might help in the solving of some present‐day problems in scientific communication and with the hope that it may stimulate similar action by other organizations concerned with specialized fields of science.

In 1953 the 8th Calorimetry Conference adopted a resolution outlining minimum publication standards for the guidance of authors, editors, and referees of calorimetric papers. Because this resolution has helped improve the quality of such papers, the 14th Conference (1959) authorized the preparation of a revised resolution on publication that would be more consistent with the expanded scope of the Conference and the present state of calorimetric science. The revised and expanded resolution that follows was adopted by the 15th Conference at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, September 7–10, 1960.
