  • HTML and PDF versions of the published article will continue to be provided for readers.
  • The article format will be shortened, but enhanced HTML and PDF supplements will be made available.
  • The published article will consist of the title, authors, key indicators, an Abstract, a new Related literature section, Experimental data sections (Crystal data, Data collection, and Refinement), very brief table(s), a chemical scheme, Acknowledgements and References.
  • The Experimental text sections and Comment will no longer appear in the published article, but this information should still be provided by authors for inclusion in the HTML and PDF supplements.
  • Figures will be available through the HTML and PDF supplements to the paper.
  • Each publication will consist of a complete package - the published article, HTML and PDF supplements, CIF, structure factors, graphics, and any other submitted supplementary files - and this represents a much richer collection of material than is provided by publishers of other journals.

Further details of the new format and the reasons behind this change have been described in the March 2007 Editorial
http://journals.iucr.org/e/issues/2007/03/00/me0340/index.html

Revised Notes for Authors are available and a sample paper has been published in the March issue of the journal [Clegg & Martin (2007). Acta Cryst. E63, m856] to show the features of the new short-format style articles.
