Our recently published paper on A “Tips and Tricks” Practical Guide to the Synthesis of Gold Nanorods has been selected for inclusion in the virtual issue Best Practices for Reporting the Properties of Materials and Devices. By compiling this ACS Select virtual issue, the Editors of Chemistry of Materials, ACS Catalysis, ACS Energy Letters, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, and ACS Nano hope to draw the attention of authors, readers, editors of journals, and funding agencies, to the importance of publishing work that is original, reproducible, and the product of reflection and care.
