Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>,

I would like to use the occasion of the first Structurae newsletter of 2018 to wish you a Happy New Year and all the best, many successes and good health for the year to come. 2017 was the year of completion of some really exceptional structures but also of some very important changes and improvements to Structurae. Both of which I will recap in this newsletter.

Best regards,
Nicolas Janberg
Structurae Editor-in-chief / Owner

Reminder for 2018

Exceptional Structures of 2017

Recap: Structurae in 2017

Two major milestones were achieved last year. Since July, "My Structurae" allows you to register for a personal account in order to access additional features and functions on the site such as

• Diagrams for structure types
• Download of high-resolution image flies with free licenses
• Forms on data pages to suggest data edits
• Access to literature in full text

And more features are slated to come in 2018!

Structurae's literature repository was created in September, and in November the literature section became fully operational. You can now search or browse the full catalog of publications e.g. using the author index or the periodical listing.

Evidently, the size of the Structurae database increased throughout 2017 as well:

• 2.041 structures and large-scale projects (70.577 total)
• 269 persons (10.218 total)
• 459 companies (14.167 total)
• 97 case studies and product descriptions (1.533 total)
• 20.550 images (245.295 total)
• 781 publications (65.987 total)
