Cross sections have been compiled for electron impact excitation of carbon and oxygen ions. A selections has been made to recommend 'best' values for use. The resulting recommended values are fitted to an analytical formula and the fitting coefficients are given in a table. The cross sections (in the form of collisions strengths) and the rate coefficients calculated therefrom are shown graphically. The reliability of the recommended data is roughly estimated.
