Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography (ACSA:FC)

Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography is a highly respected international peer reviewed journal published by the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr). It focuses on the fundamental scientific principles and theoretical framework of crystallography, which underpins the study of atomic and molecular structures in solids. The journal publishes research articles on the mathematical and physical foundations of crystallography, including symmetry theory, diffraction physics, structure determination principles, and computational methods used in crystallographic analysis. It also features advances in experimental techniques such as X-ray, neutron, and electron diffraction, as well as innovations in data processing, modeling, and interpretation of crystal structures. Section A is distinct from other sections of Acta Crystallographica because it emphasizes theory, methodology, and conceptual advances rather than reporting individual crystal structures. It plays a crucial role in developing new approaches that support structural chemistry, physics, materials science, and structural biology.
