Experimental and theoretical cross section data for electron impact ionization of light atoms and ions have been assessed. Based on this assessment and, in some cases, on the classical scaling laws, a recommended cross section has been produced for each species. This has been used to evaluate recommended Maxwellian rate coefficients over a wide range of temperatures. Convenient analytic expressions have been obtained for the recommended cross sections and rate coefficients. The data are presented in both graphical and tabular form and estimates of the reliability of the recommended data are given.
