Notes for authors 2006
Abstract
Keywords: Notes for authors. <h2> 1. Scientific scope</h2> Section A of Acta Crystallographica publishes papers reporting fundamental advances in all areas of crystallography in the broadest sense. The central themes are, on the one hand, experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and arrangements of atoms, ions and molecules in condensed matter, ideal or real, and of their symmetry and, on the other, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the various methods to determine these arrangements. In contrast, Section B deals with the structures of individual compounds and families of compounds, and the relationship of structure to chemical and physical properties, Section C publishes crystal structure determinations, Sections D and F are devoted to molecules of biological interest and Section E is a rapid communication journal for the publication of concise reports on crystal structures. A more complete definition of scientific scope is given in an Editorial [ Acta Cryst. (1994), A 50 , 1]. <h2> 2. Categories of contributions</h2> Contributions should conform to the general editorial style of the journal. <h3> 2.1. Research Papers</h3> Full-length Research Papers should not normally exceed 15 journal pages (about 15 000 words). <h3> 2.2. Short Communications</h3> Short Communications are intended for
