L'Association Européenne de Cristallographie (ECA) organise depuis 2021 des "webinaires déjeuner". Les groupes d'intérêt spéciaux (SIG) et les groupes d'intérêt général (GIG) de l'ECA organisent à tour de rôle un webinaire adapté à la communauté des cristallographes au sens large. Le 25ième webinaire sera diffusé le jeudi 25 janvier 2024 à 13h: Why do so many crystal structures remain unpublished? par Bill Clegg (University of Newcastle, UK). Inscriptions ici.
It has often been suggested that published crystal structures represent only a minority of those that have been satisfactorily solved and refined, despite a range of positive incentives for their publication. My own experience supports this suggestion. In this talk I will examine possible reasons, good and bad, for the failure to publish as well as asking just what we mean by publication anyway.
