....So the question is...how can you get a hold of the calculation spreadsheet used in research to get values that are valuable to industry or subject matter...?..What I mean is that......there is most always an Excel file used to collect, organize, and calculate data so that you can plot graphs to progress your research project...I have found that studying the mathematics of the calculations brings almost full understanding of the chemistry.....So....how do you get a hold of the excel file used to generate data that is presented in publications...
