About mzTab-M
The Format
mzTab-M is the community standard for reporting mass spectrometry-based small molecule metabolomics and lipidomics results. It was developed by the Metabolomics Working Group of the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) and ratified as PSI standard in 2019.
The format extends the earlier mzTab 1.0 proteomics format to address the specific needs of metabolomics: multiple adduct forms of the same molecule, MS1-based identification, confidence level reporting, and structured linkage between summary, feature, and evidence rows.

HUPO-PSI
The Human Proteome Organization Proteomics Standards Initiative develops open, community-driven data standards for proteomics and metabolomics. mzTab-M is one of a family of PSI formats that includes mzML, mzIdentML, mzQuantML, and others.
The PSI metabolomics working group is open to participation. See psidev.info/groups/metabolomics for contact details.
