Acta Crystallographica refers to a family of scientific journals, with peer-reviewed articles about crystallography, published by the International Union of Crystallography. The journal was established in 1948 as a single journal called Acta Crystallographica (ISSN 0365-110X)[1] In 1967 the journal was separated into Section A and Section B, with Section C being added in 1983, and Section D being added in 1993.[2] Section E was added in 2001,[3] and Section F in 2005.[4]
Acta Crystallographica has been noted for the high quality of the papers that it produces,[5] as well as the large impact that its papers has on the field of crystallography.[6]

Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography "covers theoretical and fundamental aspects of the structure of matter".[7] The journal is abstracted and/or indexed in a variety of scholarly bibliographic databases, including: Biological Abstracts, Current Chemical Reactions Database, Chemistry Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, INSPEC, ISI Chemistry Reaction Center, Medline, Science Citation Index, and Scopus. After Acta Crystallographica was split into sections in 1967, section A was named Acta Crystallographica. Section A: Crystal Physics, Diffraction, Theoretical and General Crystallography, published in Denmark (ISSN 0567-7394). However, the journal's name and ISSN changed again in 1982 to its current state.[8] In 2000 Acta Crystallographica Section A began to provide electronic article submission and subscription access online[9]

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Online is an open-access journal intended to be "a simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for the growing number of inorganic, metal-organic and organic crystal structure determinations.[14]" Following the inclusion of Section C in the Crystallography Journals Online website, Section E was launched in 2001 as "the natural choice when single structures are to be reported, usually with less detailed discussion of the results (a Comment section is encouraged but not required) than would be appropriate for Section C.".[3] The journal has been described as "a megajournal published by the International Union of Crystallography, which blurs the distinction between a database and a journal."[15]Starting 2012, Acta Cryst. E is no longer included in the Scientific Citation Index by Thomson Reuters.

Acta Crystallographica Section F: Structural Biology and Crystallization Communications is an electronic-only journal intended to be "a home for short communications on the crystallization and structure of biological macromolecules.[16]" The journal proved quickly popular, and in its first year "12 issues were published and included over 300 articles and 1100 pages."[4]

The 11 September 1974 issue of the ISI's Current Contents carried an article on Acta Crystallographica by Eugene Garfield in his series of Journal Citation Studies. He wrote "Acta Crystallographica can justifiably take pride in its impact on science. The 45 [Acta] papers listed here stand high in a list of 6000 papers in science cited 100 times or more in 1961-1972". These 45 papers ranged over scattering factors, phase relations, statistics (including accuracy), thermal motion, extinction and some crystal structures.
