About the book >.>.> The National Standard Reference Data System provides effective access to the quantitative data of physical science critically evaluated and compiled for convenience and readily accessible through a variety of distribution channels. The System was established in 1963 by action of the President’s Office of Science and Technology and the Federal Council for Science and Technology with responsi bility to administer it to the National Bureau of Standards. assigned toThe System now comprises a complex of data centers and other activities carried on in academic institutions and and other laboratories both in and out of government. The independent operational status of existing critical data projects is maintained and encouraged. Data centers that are components of the NSRDS produce compilations of critically evaluated data critical reviews of the state of quantita give knowledge in specialized areas and computations of useful functions derived from standard refer- ence data In addition the centers and projects establish criteria for evaluation and compilation data and make recommendations on needed improvements in experimental techniques. They are nor nally closely associated with active research in the relevant field.The technical scope of the NSRDS is indicated by the principal categories of data compilation projects now active or being planned: nuclear properties atomic and molecular properties solid state properties thermodynamic and transport properties chemical kinetics and colloid and surface properties.The NSDRS receives advice and planning assistance from the National Research Council of the National Academy of Science National Academy of Engineering. An overall Review Committee con siders the program as a whole and makes recommendations on policy long-term planning and inter national collaboration. Advisory Panels each concerned with a single technical area meet regularly to examine major portions of the program assign relative priorities and identify specific key problems in need of further attention. For selected specific topics the Advisory Panels sponsor subpanel which make detailed studies of users’ needs the present state of knowledge and existing data resources as a basis for recommending one or more data compilation activities. This assembly of advisory services contributes greatly to the guidance of NSRDS activities.The NSRDS-NES series of publications is intended primarily to include evaluated reference data and critical reviews of long-term interest to the scientific and technical community.The JANAF Thermochemical Tables Project sponsored and monitored by agencies of the Defense Department has been considered an important part of the National Standard Reference Data System. The tables have found wide utility in technical areas far removed from those for which the work was initiated. Consequently when plans for a Second Edition of the JANAF Thermochemical Tables were under discussion a suggestion was made that they be incorporated into the NSRDS-NBS publication series. This suggestion was accepted and the present volume NSRDS-NBS 37 is the outcome. It is hoped that this publication channel will lead to even wider distribution and greater use of these very valuable tables.
