Calorimetry Group Adopts Revised Resolution on Data Publication

In 1953 the eighth 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, "Resolution on Publication of Calorimetric and Thermodynamic Data," was adopted by the 15th conference at Gatlinburg, Tenn., 7-10 September 1960.
