This test has failed due to what is probably an incorrectly formatted author/address loop. Usual errors encountered in this loop are due to an incorrect number of elements being given in the loop, or misuse of ; (semi-colon) delimiters in order to get the CIF to pass checkCIF. If there are no footnotes to be included in the author/address loop then the loop should have the form as below, loop_ _publ_author_name _publ_author_address 'Bowes, Katharine F.' # Format is 'Surname, Firstnames' ; School of Chemistry University of St Andrews St Andrews Fife KY16 9ST Scotland ; 'Ferguson, George' ; Department of Chemistry University of Guelph Guelph Ontario Canada N1G 2W1 ; When footnotes are required, then the format is as below. Note the use of . as a placeholder for entries not requiring a footnote. loop_ _publ_author_name _publ_author_footnote _publ_author_address 'Bowes, Katharine F.' . # Note . as placeholder ; School of Chemistry University of St Andrews St Andrews Fife KY16 9ST Scotland ; 'Ferguson, George' ; Permanent address: Department of Chemistry University of Guelph Guelph Ontario Canada N1G 2W1 ; ; School of Chemistry University of St Andrews St Andrews Fife KY16 9ST Scotland ; 'Lough, Alan J.' . ; Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories University of Toronto Toronto Ontario Canada M5S 3H6 ; |
| PUBL_024 | Large number of authors. | The number of authors is greater than 6. Please specify the role of each of the co-authors for your paper. The co-authors of a paper should be all those who have made significant scientific contributions to the work reported and who share responsibility and accountability for the results. An administrative, or similar, relationship to the work does not of itself qualify a person for co-authorship. /td> |
| PUBL_022 | Mismatched subscript operators. | A line has been found with mismatched subscript operators(~). If you require a single ~ (tilde) then this must be escaped with a \. e.g. the time taken was \~ 3 seconds. Otherwise there should be pairs of matching ~, e.g. C~3~H~8~O which would signify C3H8O. |
| PUBL_023 | Mismatched superscript operators. | A line has been found with mismatched superscript operators(^). If you require a single ^ (caret) then this must be escaped with a \. i.e. \^ Otherwise there should be pairs of matching ^, e.g. ^12^C which would signify 12C. |
| PUBL_025 | _publ_section_comment | _publ_section_comment is more than 400 words. For Acta Crystallographica Section E the Comment section is usually expected to be no more than 400 words.
