100 Years of Crystallography: The IUCr Launches Acomprehensive Open-Access Journal, IUCrJ

　　The year 2014 has been declared by the United Nations as the International Year of Crystallography (IYCr2014) to celebrate 100 years of success following the ?rst Nobel prize related to crystallography, awarded in 1914 to Max von Laue. The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) has launched a new fully open access journal with the objective of attracting high quality science papers of broad scienti?c signi?cance from across all the scienti?c communities that use results obtained from diffraction methods. The journal is simply called IUCrJ, the ?rst journal that carries the Union's name in a manner similar to the well established journals PNAS and JACS that carry the names of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the American Chemical Society (ACS). The first issue of IUCrJ has been released in January 2014, see http://www.iucrj.org/m/issues/2014/01/00/. Prof. Cheng-Yong Su is invited as a Co-Editor of IUCrJ.

　　2012年6月25日，联合国大会通过决议确定2014年为国际晶体学年，以庆祝自1914年劳厄获得第一个晶体学诺贝尔奖以来该领域取得的巨大成功。2014年初, 国际晶体学会（IUCr) 创办了一个综合性学术期刊 IUCrJ，旨在吸引与晶体学相关的所有领域的高水平科学论文。这是第一个直接以国际晶体学会名义创刊的开放性杂志，采用了人们熟知的著名期刊 PNAS （以美国国家科学院 NAS 命名）和 JACS （以美国化学会 ACS 命名）模式 。该期刊首期已经发布，详细信息请登录：http://www.iucrj.org/m/issues/2014/01/00/。我校苏成勇教授应邀担任该期刊的Co-Editor。
