IUCr 1995 Report - Journal of Applied Crystallography

The Journal of Applied Crystallography has continued to attract a large variety of publications, spanning powder diffraction, computing, small-angle scattering, topography and so on. The section dealing with Computer Programs seems to have become increasingly popular. In addition, there is noticeably a more widespread use of colour in research articles.

With regard to specialist areas, the section on Teaching and Education in Crystallography has not so far attracted many submissions and perhaps this section needs more publicity to make it viable. A new area that was begun in 1995 was Cryocrystallography Notes. This is an important field, particularly for biological crystallographers, where many practical ideas for carrying out low-temperature experiments are being discussed. In a departure from normal procedure in JAC, this section has been placed under the responsibility of a single member of the Editorial Board. It is possible that this approach could be considered for other specialist areas.
