Summary
The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) celebrates 70 years of scientific publishing. Many IUCr journals are highly ranked, with a strategic goal for all to reach the top quartile.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography and scientific publishing.
Background:
- The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) was established 70 years ago.
- The organization is celebrating 70 years of peer-reviewed publications in 2018.
Discussion:
- Three IUCr journals, including *IUCrJ*, are currently ranked within the top 10% of all scientific journals.
- The remaining journals are actively working towards achieving a top quartile ranking within the next five years.
Key Insights:
- The IUCr has a long-standing history of high-quality scientific publication.
- A significant portion of IUCr journals already demonstrate top-tier impact and recognition.
Outlook:
- The IUCr is committed to maintaining and improving the impact and visibility of its journal portfolio.
- Future strategic goals focus on elevating all IUCr journals to the top quartile of scientific publications.

01:05Long-term Depression
33.4K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
3.9K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

02:20Longitudinal Research
13.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

775.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...
