Cambridge University Press (CUP), the publishing division of the UK's University of Cambridge, and the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) have formed a new publishing partnership to produce ICDD's flagship journal, Powder Diffraction. Powder Diffraction will be published by Cambridge from March 2012 Volume 27, Issue 1. ICDD is a non-profit scientific organisation dedicated to publishing powder diffraction data for materials identification.
A quarterly journal, Powder Diffraction seeks to bring cutting edge research and new advances to a global community of scientists on behalf of the parent institution, ICDD. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of its papers, Powder Diffraction has wide appeal to a great number of sciences, including materials science, chemistry, geology, environmental science, and biology. Although practice is emphasised, theory is not neglected, especially as its discussion relates to better understanding of technique. The editorial focus will remain on a diverse selection of practical applications of diffraction methods analysis, standard reference materials, search/match methods, the indexing of powder data, and structure solutions from powders.
Together, Cambridge and ICDD will partner to strengthen Powder Diffraction in terms of reach and impact. The journal will be hosted on Cambridge's cutting-edge electronic platform, Cambridge Journals Online, and will include increased usability, increased functionality and many new features to enhance and optimise article usage.
