The PSI Quality Control workgroup is one of the working groups of the Proteomics Standards Initiative.

Quality Control Group Charter

The main goal of the PSI-QC working group is to define a community data format and associated controlled vocabulary terms, facilitating data exchange and archiving of mass spectrometry derived quality control metrics.
