The purpose of this project is to produce lists of those instrument parameters that need to be reported in any paper that significantly presents results obtained with Fourier transform spectrometers in order that the experiments may be duplicated in other laboratories. One list was to be produced for nuclear magnetic resonance FT spectroscopy and one for optical FT spectroscopy. The lists are intended to be useful to authors and to journal editors, which means that extensive consultation is required to ensure that each list includes the essential parameters yet remains sufficiently short that it will actually be used.

The final report concerning optical Fourier transformspectroscopy has been published as: Specificationof Components, Methods and Parameters in Fourier transform spectroscopyby Michelson and Related Inteferometers, John E. Bertie, Pureand Applied Chemistry 70, 2039-2045 (1998). Three listsare presented in the final report, one for absorption spectroscopyunder modest resolution, one for absorption spectroscopy under veryhigh resolution, and one for Raman spectroscopy under modest resolution.The paper is in the final stages of appearing on our web site. Tofulfil part of its purpose, the paper has been sent to many journaleditors to ask if they would reprint it or send it to their refereesand authors. Several journals have indicated their interest. SpecificallyApplied Spectroscopy and the Australian Journal of Chemistryhave stated their intent to reprint the article. [reprinted in AustralianJournal of Chemistry, 52, 1-5 (1999)] The Journal of MolecularSpectroscopy has indicated interest in including on its web sitea statement of the existence of the document with a hyperlink to theIUPAC web site <http://www.iupac.org/recommendations/1998/7010bertie/>.
