Before we all come up with a solution of archiving all the images to
bury them in a safe place, we should find an immediate cure.
Attention to Nature and Science:
I have a solution for the continued publication of wrong structures
in big journals. Every structural manuscript submitted to a high-
impact journal (or non-crystallographic journal) should accompany
with a CD/DVD with all images, clear protocols that are reproducible,
from image to the maps shown in the journals. It does not matter who
the referee is. An independent crystallographer will review the
structure and give his/her recommendations independent of the actual
contents of the manuscript. it could be another independent referee
or a hired crystallographer (one more job!!).
