Since 2014, the international volcanic ash (tephra) research community has been building a set of data best practices and digital research tools for pyroclastic volcanology, based on input gathered from more than 250 scientists during a series of workshops and other discussions [1, 2]. Primary objectives are to improve data documentation and availability to meet Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) goals and to thereby enhance research collaboration, support student and early career training, streamline research workflows, and facilitate the construction of next generation digital data systems. Microanalytical geochemistry data, microscopy methods, and lithostratigraphic data are widely used in tephra research to characterize samples, understand processes of volcanic eruptions, and to match samples to eruptive events across continental to trans-continental distances. Comprehensive best practice recommendations for data and metadata have been released [1, 2] which cover samples, physical properties, optical imaging, electron microscope imaging, EPMA and LA-ICP-MS analytical methods, and geochemical data reporting and archiving.A series of spreadsheet templates have also been prepared in collaboration with SESAR and EarthChem, and these are available via the Tephra Community portal at EarthChem [3]. Comprehensive and simplified templates support archiving of sample information and associated project metadata simultaneously with registration of samples with International Generic Sample Numbers (IGSNs)[4]. New analytical method templates now make it possible to archive in detail EPMA and LA-ICP-MS methods in standardized formats so that they may be re-used and cited with a DOI. In this way, the method expert, often the laboratory manager, can complete the template once for each method, and then all subsequent users can cite the method DOI in all related publications and datasets.
