Spectrometry
MeSH ID: 68013057
Description:
The measurement of the amplitude of the components of a complex waveform throughout the frequency range of the waveform.
Best practice for sharing this type of data:
Raw spectrometer output may be stored in mzML format, and mzTab may be used for reporting.
Most suitable repositories:
Datasets may be added to repositories such asBiological Magnetic Resonance Databank, CaltechDATA, Carbohydrate Structure Database, EPA Comptox Chemicals Dashboard, Metabolights, MolMeDB: Molecules on Membranes Database, nmrshiftdb2, PANGAEA, Protein Data Bank in Europe, and PubChem.
Best practice for indicating re-use of existing data:
For public datasets please provide a DOI or other stable identified for the dataset itself *and* include a citation for the dataset in the reference list. Be sure to indicate exactly which data has been re-used, particularly when multiple versions of the dataset exist. In many cases, this is best achieved by sharing the code used to extract the part of the data that you analyzed. In some cases it may be best to share the exact dataset(s) you analyzed as well.
For access-controlled data authors should provide a link to instructions for obtaining access (e.g. here is the information page for ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative): http://adni.loni.usc.edu/data-samples/access-data/).
When re-using a private dataset from a previous study please contact the data owners to discuss how the data can be made public.
