The BCA Summer School is a combined taught and practical course intended primarily for students and researchers new to crystallography. It is held in the University of Oxford’s Biochemistry Department and St. Edmund Hall from 5th – 10th September 2010. Its aim is to provide comprehensive training in the theory and practise of crystallography, and to promote the exchange of experience and best practise within the British crystallographic community.
The RSC is reviewing its arrangements for the assessment of crystallographic
data and information published in its peer-reviewed journals, and invites
tenders for a contract for work to assess a part of the structures published
in its journals. The RSC publishes over 25 journals, weekly, biweekly and
monthly, some, but not all, of which include crystallographic material. In
total, approximately 2000 articles containing crystallographic structures
are published annually, and the initial assumption is that bids will be for
