Data Science Skills in Publishing: for authors, editors and referees

This day-long workshop was the first major initiative of the IUCr Committee on Data (CommDat), established at the 2017 IUCr Congress in Hyderabad to survey and report to the IUCr Executive Committee on all relevant aspects of data management. In line with the Committee’s broad remit, the Workshop included contributions from the fields of chemical and macromolecular crystallography and powder diffraction, and was concerned with the quality of reporting of structural models through the medium of publication as well as database deposition.
