International Tables for Crystallography
How to cite and link to volumes and articles
The best way to cite a volume or chapter of International Tables for Crystallography depends on whether it is in print or online.
If you are citing a volume or chapter that is part of International Tables Online, we recommend that you use a doi-based URL. The URL can be found near the top of the appropriate html page at it.iucr.org, for example:
- International Tables for Crystallography (2016). Vol. A, Space-group symmetry, 2nd online edition, edited by M. I. Aroyo, https://doi.org/10.1107/97809553602060000114.
- Kopský, V. & Litvin, D. B. (2010). Editors. International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. E, Subperiodic groups, 2nd online edition, https://doi.org/10.1107/97809553602060000109.
- Kern, A. (2019). Instrumentation for laboratory X-ray scattering techniques. In International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. H, Powder diffraction, 1st online ed., ch. 2.4, pp. 26-50, https://doi.org/10.1107/97809553602060000936 .
These URLs can also be used to link to the volume or chapter. Early view chapters (i.e. chapters that are available online but have not yet been assigned a chapter number or page numbers) can also be cited and linked to using these URLs.
If you wish to cite a chapter or volume that is in print, we recommend using one of the following styles of reference:
