CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. It publishes studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions. All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy.

Crystal Research and Technology is an international journal examining all aspects of research within experimental, industrial, and theoretical crystallography. The journal covers the relevant aspects of *crystal growth techniques and phenomena (including bulk growth, thin films) *modern crystalline materials (e.g. smart materials, nanocrystals, quasicrystals, liquid crystals) *industrial crystallisation *application of crystals in materials science, electronics, data storage, and optics *experimental, simulation and theoretical studies of the structural properties of crystals *crystallographic computingSign up for the free MaterialsViews.com newsletter and get weekly updates on the latest developments and exciting breakthroughs in the vast field of materials science.ISSN: 1521-4079 (online).Volume 47. 12 Issues in 2012.

Crystallography Reports (Kristallografiya), founded in 1956, publishes original papers, short communications, and reviews on different aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons; X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic materials, including proteins and other biological objects; optical and radiowave spectroscopy; growth, real structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films and partly disordered systems, and the methods used in these studies.

Crystallography Reviews publishes English language reviews of all aspects of crystallography. The main reviews are typically 20 to 80 pages long, with hundreds of references; and there are also book reviews. Topical reviews can be shorter (5000 words). The range of topics includes:- fundamentals of crystallography and applications in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and mineralogy as well as in industrial research; studies of the structural and symmetry aspects of solids, and includes small molecules and macromolecules as well as structural systematics and chemical design; methodological aspects include crystal growth, instrumentation and diffraction methods; and the interface of crystallography to other structure determination methods. The reviews are intended to be accessible to all scientists: not only crystallographers but also those working in related fields.Peer ReviewAll published research articles in Crystallography Reviews have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert reviewers.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352) is an open access journal that covers all aspects of crystalline material research. Crystals can act as a reference, and as a publication resource, to the community. It publishes reviews, regular research articles, and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on article length. Full experimental details must be provided to enable the results to be reproduced. Crystals provides a  forum for the advancement of our understanding of the nucleation, growth, processing, and characterization of crystalline materials. Their mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and their diverse applications, are all considered to be of importance.
