The New Data Quality Task Group (DQTG): ensuring high quality data today and in the future

A new Task Group has been formed within the international Metabolomics Society to provide a focal point for discussions related to experimental data quality within metabolomics experiments. The current group, which was formed in May 2014, consists of co-chairs Dan Bearden (NIST, USA) and Richard Beger (FDA, USA), and an international panel of scientists listed above as co-authors. The voluntary service of these members to this Task Group is predicated on a one-year commitment with the possibility of renewal based upon mutual agreement.
