Tóm tắt

A proposal is set out for the information and details that should accompany the publication of geochemical data in the research literature. This proposal is based on the principle that sufficient detail must be included both to allow independent replication of the results and for reviewers to confirm that data are fit‐for‐purpose in supporting the way in which they have been interpreted. In particular, it is recommended that all analytical measurements should be accompanied by an estimate of uncertainty that includes both field sampling and laboratory contributions together with a statement that summarises the way published data conform to the principles of traceability.
