Data Reporting Formats

Make your data more discoverable and usable by selecting the type of data you collect from the list below. Then read documentation to learn how to follow the most up-to-date reporting formats.

The DOE's Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research program supported the development of the data reporting formats.

Each reporting format has documentation hosted on both GitBook and Github. Content is exactly the same on both platforms; however, the GitBook interface is generally more user-friendly, while on GitHub visitors can more easily submit comments and suggestions thorough GitHub issues. Additionally, for ease of access to the reporting format templates, links to the respective templates are linked with each reporting format table.
