Accelerating Change

what we are calling "Data reporting checklists", cover sheets that are a required part of our submission process for original research articles focused in certain research areas.Developed with input from experts in the field, each checklist indicates what we consider the absolute minimum parameters that should be reported in manuscripts for that particular field of research.The idea behind this measure is to assist authors in understanding our data-reporting expectations and guide their manuscript preparation, as well as aiding reviewers during manuscript evaluation.We currently have checklists available for research involving the performance/stability of solar cells or for batteries and supercapacitors; additional checklists for other research areas are under development.
