National Standard Reference Data Series


The National Standard Reference Data Series (NSRDS) was coordinated by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), the predecessor of NIST, and published articles from 1965–1985. NSRDS was composed of NBS and other data centers that produced compilations of critically evaluated data, critical reviews of the state of quantitative knowledge in specialized areas, and computations of useful functions derived from standard reference data.
