Marc, As someone with limited experience in publishing structures but with other experience reviewing the same I feel strongly about this. I am hoping to submit any future papers with the pdb structure already released or submit the coordinates as supplementary material. As a reviewer I find it difficult to "visualise" a structure based on a static 2D figure.
I would like to see coordinates/structure factors supplied for review or released on the pdb. I believe that if released on the pdb then this should give you enough security that it is still your structure. Just my thoughts Joel From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Marc Kvansakul Sent: Thursday, 19 April 2012 10:34 a.m. To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] Off-topic: Supplying PDB file to reviewers Dear CCP4BBlers, I was wondering how common it is that reviewers request to have a copy of the PDB coordinate file for the review purpose. I have just been asked to supply this by an editor after several weeks of review, after one of the reviewers requested a copy. Not having ever been asked to do this before I feel just a tad uncomfortable about handing this over... Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
