IUCr submission to House of Commons Inquiry

Submitted by nic@visuali.st on

Introduction

1. The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) has operated as a learned-society publisher in the UK for over half a century. Over the last decade we have embraced the opportunities presented by electronic publishing, and have pioneered novel methods of data handling and analysis as part of our quality control and content delivery. We welcome the opportunity to present to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee the views of a particular learned-society publisher on the present state of scientific publications.

The International Union of Crystallography: its formation and early development

Early international contacts

Informal international contacts were established almost immediately after the beginnings of X-ray structure analysis, through personal correspondence and visits to foreign laboratories, and although many of these contacts were suspended during World War I, they were not permanently disrupted.
