IUCr 1994 Report - Journal of Applied Crystallography

Volume 27 of the Journal of Applied Crystallography (JAC) was published during 1994, containing 116 Full Articles. The total number of pages was 1078, a 27% increase over 1993. Co-editors received 177 manuscripts for review during the year and submitted 160 papers to the Managing Editor. The median publication time for Full Articles was 7.3 months. J. S. Pedersen was appointed as a new JAC Co-editor during the year. JAC also began the year with a redesigned cover and contents page. The range of topics in the six volumes published covered equipment, theory, powder diffraction, single-crystal diffraction and synchrotron radiation. There was also an increase in contributions from the more biologically oriented researchers, especially in the areas of protein crystallization and flash-cooling techniques. An excellent Lead Article was published in the June issue on interpretation of diffuse X-ray scattering, and one of the diagrams from this paper has been selected for the journal's 1995 cover. Other important papers included one on Laue image analysis and a large paper on the Rietveld round robin (analysis of monoclinic ZrO₂), undertaken by the IUCr Commission on Powder Diffraction.
