Journal of Applied Crystallography (JAC)

The Journal of Applied Crystallography, first published in 1968, is a long-standing and highly respected journal in the field of structural science and applied crystallography. It is published bimonthly by the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) in partnership with Wiley-Blackwell. The journal provides an international platform for rigorous research on both experimental and theoretical crystallographic methods that illuminate the structure and behavior of matter at atomic and molecular scales. Its articles address a broad range of scientific domains, including condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry and the life sciences, where crystallographic insights are essential for understanding fundamental properties and driving technological progress. Contributions often showcase cutting-edge approaches involving neutrons, electrons, and X-ray sources—along with developments in instrumentation and numerical analysis—that extend the boundaries of traditional crystallography. The journal also emphasizes innovative software and computational tools, including the use of machine learning in structural analysis. Because of its broad purview and rigorous peer-review standards, Journal of Applied Crystallography attracts researchers from varied disciplines who apply structural characterization to fundamental science and practical challenges alike.
