✦ Synopsis

Attention is drawn to the technical report "Specification of Components, Methods and Parameters in Fourier Transform Spectroscopy by Michelson and Related Interferometers" recently published by the Physical Chemistry Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) (J. E. Bertie, Pure and Applied Chemistry, 70, 2039 -2045 (1998)). The intention is to provide a checklist of experimental parameters that should be given in the Experimental section of any paper that contains Fourier transform spectra, so that subsequent workers can reproduce the data with other instruments if necessary.

The abstract reads: "With the goal of ensuring that adequate information is presented in the scientific literature to permit the reproduction of measurements in different laboratories, this paper presents short lists of components, methods and parameters that should be reported in papers that focus on spectra recorded on Fourier transform spectrometers."
