About This Tool

This web application provides free and open access to literature information contained in the NIST SOURCE Data Archive,¹ and provides an easy-to-use tool for generation of a NIST Literature Report in PDF format. The tool is intended to aid researchers and reviewers in determining relevant literature sources for a given experimental measurement; however, it is not intended to replace the comprehensive literature review required by all journals, and no guarantee is made regarding completeness of the information provided. For an analysis of the comparative impact a particular measurement may have, the ThermoPlan: Experimental Planning and Coverage Evaluation Aid for Thermophysical Property Measurements web tool is recommended.

DISCLAIMER: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses its best effort to deliver a high-quality interface and access to the underlying database, and to verify that the methods and data contained therein are broadly comprehensive and have been selected on the basis of sound scientific judgment. However, NIST makes no warranties to that effect, and NIST shall not be liable for any damage that may result from errors or omissions in this information resource. This resource is designed to be a software aid for reporting new experimental measurements of thermophysical properties, but in no way substitutes for intensive literature review, relevant data analysis, and judgments based on specific needs.
