guidelines for raw data

Standard experimental tables for raw data articles

Each raw data article will normally include standard experimental tables as shown below. The content of the table will depend on whether a small molecule or a biological macromolecule is being studied.

Templates for these tables can be found in our Word template at https://journals.iucr.org/services/wordstyle.html.

Helpful notes and/or examples are given in the second column.
