Data completeness can be assessed by calculating what fraction of the unique reflections within a range of Bragg spacings that could in theory be observed has actually been measured. Ideally, completeness should be quoted for all resolution shells (which should not be too broad), as well as for the entire data set. However, as a minimum, the values for the two extreme (low- and high-resolution) shells and for the entire data set should be reported.
