Due to the increasing number of elements that are being reported by laboratories undertaking multi-element analysis, the time to undertake QAQC of the data has increased. In order to alleviate the increasing time constraints of undertaking QAQC this python script was developed. This script provides a quick first pass of the data automatically to produce summary statistics and plots of the included standards laboratory duplicates and analytical duplicates. The statistics and plots allow for rapid assessment of geochemical data to discover potential issues with the data and trends though time, whilst also providing a consistent approach. It should be noted that no general quality cut-offs have been included within the script as it does not replace the need for an expert examining the data to identify potential issues. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[45.0, -90.0], [168.0, -90.0], [168.0, -9.0], [45.0, -9.0], [45.0, -90.0]]]} 45.0 168.0 -90.0 -9.0 ARF - Australia’s Resources Framework EFTF – Exploring for the Future Geochemistry Inorganic Geochemistry National Geochemical Framework Published_External Python Quality controlled Link to GitHub Repository documentDigital Link to GitHub Repository HTML
