Abstract
Quality control of the papers in its journals is a major concern of th e International Union of Crystallography. Recent technological develop ments, not least the emergence of a standard data interchange file for mat, have facilitated the checking of numerical data in a paper, and i ts error-free transference to the printed page. Consequently, database holdings derived from IUCr journals will be of greater accuracy. Othe r publishers of crystallographic data may benefit from these innovatio ns.
