For chemists and engineers who are writing results of quantitative measurements of physical or chemical properties of substances for publication, this volume gives guidelines on how to present the measured data. Following an introduction and a section that details what constitutes an adequate description, further sections are devoted to specific categories of measurements: thermodynamics, including biothermodynamics; chemical kinetics and transport properties; electrochemistry; colloid and surface chemistry; photochemistry; analytical chemistry; crystallography and electron diffraction; and spectroscopies. A final section deals briefly with the impact automation is beginning to have on the subject covered in the volume. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
