As co-editor of J Appl Cryst, handling teaching/education and computer software mainly, J Appl Cryst is the appropriate journal in the IUCr series for publishing new software, improved software, tutorials, etc. We would strongly encourage you to submit such manuscripts to J Appl Cryst, both 'biological' in nature and not. Such developments are of broad interest to the crystallographic community. We have recently handled soon-to-be-published papers of interest to the biological community.

Something to do with the scoring working on a calendar year. Charles On 19 Feb 2007, at 10:50, Kevin Cowtan wrote: > J. Appl.
