Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre now accepts structure factors
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) has announced that structure factors are now being accepted with CIFs for deposition to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Colin Groom, Executive Director, commented that "The CCDC supports the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) in highlighting the importance of retaining and validating experimental data. We strongly recommend that all journals publishing crystal structures should encourage their authors to provide these data in electronic CIF format."
CIFs and structure factors can now be deposited with the CCDC via a web-based deposition form at:
http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/services/structure_deposit
This initiative supports the recent IUCr encouragement for the deposition of all supporting data.
