\end{itemize}  An often posed question in the research community with regard to data associated with peer-reviewed journal articles is that of peer-review of the data itself. Indeed, it has been reported that approximately 50% 50\%  of data being reviewed for submission to the The American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database contained errors.\cite{downs} The elements defined above represent the key criteria by which to judge the quality of the data. General pedigree and provenance information are typically conveyed in most research articles, though they may be provided in insufficient detail to reproduce the data. The remaining elements of validation, verification, uncertainty and sensitivity are relatively loosely defined within materials science and engineering and, best practices have not generally been developed for each element.
