menuilluminating the structure of matter
Crystal structure analysis began in 1912 with the first papers of William Lawrence Bragg. Just three years later in 1915, William Lawrence Bragg and his father, William Henry Bragg, were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in formulating the relationship between the atomic structure of a crystal and its X-ray diffraction pattern. Their work has revolutionised our understanding of the structure of matter ranging from minerals, pharmaceutical materials and catalysts to DNA, proteins and viruses.
In celebration of 100 years since the award of the Nobel Prize to the Braggs, IUCr Journals are making a number of Physics-related articles free of charge for a period of time (see below). We strive for high quality and we encourage physicists, chemists and biologists and to report the best of their structural studies in our journals.

100 papers for 100 years
In 2014, as part of the celebrations for the International Year of Crystallography, the IUCr launched IUCrJ. This is a fully open-access journal that aims to attract high-quality science papers of broad scientific significance from across all the scientific communities that use results obtained from diffraction methods. The goal for 2015 is to publish 100 articles (in line with the 100-year celebration of the Braggs) in IUCrJ.
The first 100 articles submitted to IUCrJ using the voucher code below, and accepted for publication following peer review, will be published as platinum open access (i.e. there will be no charges for open-access publication).
Voucher code: dis-63gwUYye619PkvwixPj
