A number of services including tables of contents, e-mail alerting, and the provision of supplementary material (e.g. CIFs, structure factors and other structural data) are free of charge to both subscribers and nonsubscribers. In addition, both subscribers and nonsubscribers have access to the full texts of certain types of article (for example, CIF Applications, Prefaces, Editorials, Letters to the Editor, Book and Software Reviews, Crystallographers, Notes and News, Addenda and Errata and New Commercial Products) and to some individual articles of other types.

The IUCr has established a Journal Grants Fund to assist institutions that have difficulties in meeting the full subscriber price.

IUCr journals are also available via Wiley Online Library.

3. Multisite access

Academic institutions with more than one geographical site will be granted access from multiple sites, at no extra cost provided that the total number of subscriptions held by the institution is maintained.

Commercial organizations wishing to access the service from multiple sites should contact subscriptions@iucr.org. The IUCr will be pleased to negotiate global access arrangements for commercial organizations.
