Data analysis in catalysis involves several best practices to ensure the validity and reliability of the results:
1. Kinetic Studies: Detailed kinetic studies should be performed to understand the reaction mechanisms and to determine the rate-determining step. 2. Statistical Analysis: Proper statistical methods should be used to analyze the data and to determine the significance of the results. 3. Error Reporting: All sources of error and uncertainty should be identified and reported. This includes experimental errors, measurement uncertainties, and data processing errors.
