Volume 61 Structure Reports Part 11 Online November 2005 Editors: W. Clegg and D. G. Watson Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Online is the IUCr’s highly popu- lar open-access structural journal. It provides a simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for the growing number of inorganic, metal-organic and organic crystal struc- Inorganic compounds ture determinations. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication Metal-organic compounds Organic compounds facilities of the journal ensure very rapid and high-quality publication, whilst key indica- tors and validation reports provide measures of structural reliability. In 2007, the journal published over 5000 structures. The average publication time is less than one month.
