International Journal of Crystallography — Open Access Journal
International Journal of Crystallography is an international, scientific peer-reviewed open access journal published online by sop.
Open Access free for readers, with article processing charges (APC) paid by authors or their institutions.
High visibility: Indexed in the Google Scholar and other databases.
Rapid publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 20 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 5 days.
Recognition of reviewers: reviewers who provide timely, thorough peer-review reports receive vouchers entitling them to a discount on the APC of their next publication in any sop journal, in appreciation of the work done.
All manuscripts must be prepared in English and are subject to a rigorous and fair peer-review process. Generally, accepted papers will appear online within 5 weeks. The journal publishes original articles and reviews including but not limited to the following fields:
