Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures is a bimonthly peer-reviewedscientific journal published in English. Its first issue was published in December 1997 and bore the subtitle "International journal for structural, physical, and chemical aspects of crystalline materials."[1] Created as a spin-off of Zeitschrift für Kristallographie for reporting novel and refined crystal structures,[2] it began at volume 212[1] in order to remain aligned with the numbering of the parent journal. Paul von Groth, Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Strasbourg, established Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie in 1877;[3] after several name changes, the journal adopted its present name, Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials, in 2010.[4]
