Abstract

IP₂₅ and related biomarkers are commonly used for Arctic and Antarctic sea ice reconstruction. With a growing number of laboratories performing their measurement, we reviewed many publications spanning the period 2007–2024 in order to assess analytical rigour. We found a number of common shortfalls in analytical protocols, or at least how they are reported, which may have important implications for future synthesis studies and meta-data analyses. Here, we outline some of these shortcomings and provide suggestions of how to improve both data acquisition and reporting.

期刊介绍： Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role. The Editors welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry (including molecular and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology. The scope of the journal includes research involving petroleum (including natural gas), coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements. Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through three Chief Editors and a staff of Associate Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical community.
