A new open-access online database for resistive-type gas sensor properties and performance

A new database has been established which will allow the gas sensor researcher to quickly and effectively compare published data to evaluate the state-of-the-art, identify deficiencies in the field, and discover trends in properties and performance that would otherwise be unidentifiable from the efforts of any one research group. This Open-access Database Of Resistive-type Sensors (ODORS) will remain openly accessible through a web browser at (www.odorsdata base.com). The interface allows the user to search for, filter, and sort results based on materials composition, gas analyte, response magnitude, morphology, synthesis method, and many other relevant properties. The database has been established with data from over 150 recently published papers, but its further growth will rely on researchers around the world submitting their own published data via an easy-to-use form also available on the website. It is to the benefit of all researchers that they submit their own published data for inclusion in the database to increase discoverability and citations of their papers and exposure to their work.
