This page serves to link to various checklists regarding documenting data for distribution and for citing data, catalogs and other resources for the use of the Solar Physics community.

• ​Checklist for Creators of Event & Feature Catalogs
• Minimum Information for Solar Observations

Checklists currently planned:

• Checklist for Serving Solar Physics Data (see Webserver Setup for now)

• Checklist for authors (to make sure they've given sufficient attribution to the data & tools used)
• Checklist for peer reviewers (for the same stuff)
