-Any text files you send us will be processed into a standard format, which can be seen from the "input" link on any of the existing records.  Data submissions provided in text formats closer to the "input" format can therefore be entered more quickly into the database.  You can start by looking at the "input" file for an existing record that is similar to your submitted data.  It is useful to provide key metadata for each table such as a caption, the process being considered (initial-state and final-state particles), important kinematic cuts, and headers for the x and y columns specifying the quantity with units.  Multiple x and y values can be given in the same row separated by semicolons and non-existent entries can be indicated by dashes "-".  Numerical values should be given with an appropriate and not excessive number of significant figures (in general, a maximum of 4), avoiding giving more decimal places for the errors than the central values.  An <a href='http://hepda
 ta.cedar.ac.uk/resource-cgi/input'>online form</a> is available to test data input.  Click on "Browse..." to select your input file, followed by "Upload" and "Process", then click "Display" for the first 10 tables, or "All" for the whole record.  Please note that this <a href='http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk/resource-cgi/input'>online form</a> is only for testing purposes, and the final submittal to HepData must still be done by <a href='mailto:hepdata at projects.hepforge.org'>email</a>.
