Foreword to the AfCA collection: celebrating work published by African researchers in IUCr journals.
This virtual collection is a celebration. It is a celebration of crystallography in Africa, and a celebration of the international crystallography community. It commemorates the founding of the African Crystallographic Association (AfCA), which was accepted as the newest Regional Associate of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) in 2023, the year of the 75th anniversary of the first IUCr Congress and General Assembly. The collection contains research articles authored by scientists across the African continent, as well as a selection of articles giving context to crystallography in Africa. These discuss history, collaboration between scientists and between associations, and various educational and outreach initiatives.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
