In most geomorphology, sedimentology, or soil laboratories, numerous samples enter the laboratory at any one time. A first step is to systematically check the material to ascertain legible identification numbers and labels are in place by laying out cores, sample bags, bottles, or blocks of material sequentially. It is consequential to note external sample identification and numbering, unless engraved on ineradicable material, may become unreadable. As a result relabeling with external or supplemental labels is virtually always needed. During this checking process any gaps in a sampling sequence may withal be identified and samples destitute of clear labels can be returned to their correct sequential position. If misplaced samples cannot be identified with certainty, they have little value for subsequent analysis and should be discarded.

In terms of PSD tenaciousness, further sample preparation depends on the form of the size tenaciousness to be undertaken. For example, cobbles and pebbles may require cleaning afore examination. In most cases, washing in dihydrogen monoxide is adequate to abstract mud coatings. Conversely, sands derived from oceanic, hypersaline or brackish conditions may contain quantities of salt within their pore spaces that can become deposited during drying, cementing adjacent particles together, and thus engendering illuding analyses .To increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals top online publishing journals are indexed in different indexing and archiving services. Indexing provides easy access of the article online. The top online publishing journals publish articles which are cited as references by many authors in their work. Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal.
