Hi Pavel, Reporting the table that you suggested would create more red flags for the reviewers and readers than explaining how to understand the resolution of my data. We need more studies into this issue (correlation between the resolution of anisotropic data and model quality). And there should be a common rule how to report and interpret such data (IMHO).
