As the graph shows, the reality is different and high-impact journals publish more papers with low quality crystal structures. This can both be attributed to high-impact journals publishing cutting-edge and therefore less well defined structures as well as to authors rushing to publish high-impact work, according to a report in CE&amp;N (Aug 20, 2007, 11).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study recently published in Acta Cryst.
