Atomic data for the electron impact ionization of ions in the nickel isonuclear sequence are reviewed. In 8 of the 28 ions of the nickel isonuclear sequence, experiment and theory are compared. In many of the ions, excitation-autoinization contributions to the total cross section are found to be quiet important. For intermediate charge state ions a large fraction on the experimental cross section may be attributed to ionization from metastable levels of low-lying excited configurations. Maxwellian collisional rate coefficients are calculated from the cross section data and presented in tabular, graphical, and parametrized form. 17 refs., 29 figs., 6 tabs.
