Defining minimum reporting requirements for ESR dating of optically bleached quartz grains Duval, Mathieu Bahain, Jean-Jacques Bartz, Melanie Falguères, Christophe Guilarte, Verónica Moreno, Davinia Tissoux, Hélène del Val, Miren Voinchet, Pierre Arnold, Lee J. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating quartz grains Aluminium centre Titanium centre Equivalent dose Dose rate More than 30 years after the first Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating application to optically bleached quartz grains by Yokoyama et al. (1985), the absence of standardization for reporting methodology and age results remains an obstacle for the development and recognition of the ESR dating method within the Quaternary scientific community. To overcome this issue, the present work proposes some basic guidelines which should hopefully be useful not only for the ESR dating community, but also for any potential reviewers who may not be familiar with the specificities of this field. 2025-01-30T11:56:22Z 2025-01-30T11:56:22Z 2017 journal article Duval, M., Bahain, J.-J., Bartz, M., Falguères, C., Guilarte, V., Moreno, D., Tissoux, H. del Val, M., & Voinchet, P.
