Abstract
This month's tutorial is a result of a collaborative effort that defines a unified data reporting standard for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). SMART covers the central components of a mass spectrometry image with the purpose of improving communication of results in publications and presentations. They suggest that step size, spot size, scan total (S), molecular identification confidence (M), number of annotations (A), mass resolution or resolving power (R), and time of acquisition (T) be reported in a compact label alongside MSI data. Welcoming feedback and suggestions, this tutorial serves as a way to nucleate discussion in the MSI field about responsible and transparent data reporting.
