In support of the Editor's goal of providing open storage of chemical kinetic data published in the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, we propose the adoption of XML formats from PrIMe ( www.primekinetics.org ) for species identification and thermochemical data, and of Chemical Markup Language (CML) for three‐dimensional molecular geometries. Examples are provided in the online supplemental material of an article in this issue (Snitsiriwat, S.; Asatryan, R.; Bozzelli, J. W. Int J Chem Kinet 2010, 42, 181–199). We invite the input and assistance of the international chemical kinetics community in developing and refining these standards. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 42: 200–201, 2010
