    Challenges and research opportunities in chemical thermodynamics, thermophysics, and materials property science
    There is robust industrial demand for thermodynamic and thermophysical property data for chemical substances and materials. Unresolved inconsistencies and unexplained anomalies in the data are frequently revealed by data users. Inconsistency appears when either multiple measurements significantly deviate from each other beyond reasonable uncertainties or different reported properties do not obey thermodynamic relations between them. Anomaly here means a reported value or behavior significantly deviating from expectation based on theory or correlation. To address such issues, we have launched the new Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) Research Challenge Search website. The goals of this service are to encourage researchers to address these problems, identify the need for additional theoretical and experimental development, support the justification of related research proposals, and ultimately provide users with reliable data. This publication provides an overview of the service, presents the current collection of cases, and describes the procedures for user feedback and contribution.

    Good reporting practice for thermophysical and thermochemical property measurements (IUPAC Technical Report)
    Scientific projects frequently involve measurements of thermophysical, thermochemical, and other related properties of chemical compounds and materials. These measured property data have significant potential value for the scientific community, but incomplete and inaccurate reporting often hampers their utilization. The present IUPAC Technical Report summarizes the needs of chemical engineers and researchers as consumers of these data and shows how publishing practices can improve information transfer. In the Report, general principles of Good Reporting Practice are developed together with examples illustrating typical cases of reporting issues. Adoption of these principles will improve the quality, reproducibility, and usefulness of experimental data, bring a better level of consistency to results, and increase the efficiency and impact of research. Closely related to Good Reporting Practice, basic elements of Good Research Practice are also introduced with a goal to reduce the number of ambiguities and unresolved problems within the thermophysical property data domain.
