      <p>If the referee just wants the paper to be perfect then the data deposition will be of little help, indeed, but why not giving him a chance to play with your data and to be convinced that nothing is perfect in this world but the Referee? Not all the referees are monsters.<br>

&gt; &gt;I think that the referee's curiosity about omitted regions is not <br>
&gt; &gt;absolutely idle since overlooking &quot;unexplained&quot; reflections may well lead <br>
&gt; &gt;to wrong symmetry and structure determination.<br>
&gt; &gt;Powder data deposition as supporting information would be the best practice<br>
&gt; &gt;(even for single-crystal works :-).<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Yes, sure. But this was not really the question. So this is not<br>
&gt; the answer... ;-).<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Indeed, there was no question at all, just the remark that :<br>
&gt; &quot;Publishing a Powder-Diffraction-<wbr>based paper is hard sometimes.&quot;<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; And at least, for having a chance for the data to be deposited,<br>
&gt; the paper must be first accepted, meaning that the referee should<br>
&gt; recognize that a perfect work is not always possible with powder<br>
&gt; even if nothing is wrong with the part of the pattern explained.<br>
&gt; An unknown impurity representing less than 1% of the bulk<br>
&gt; cannot be treated by other means than excluded zones.<br>
&gt; Or do you belong to this group of experts always able to explain<br>
&gt; everything ? Not my case... And depositing the data is not exactly<br>
&gt; a solution to that problem. A solution could be to not submit the<br>
&gt; manuscript if you guess that reviewers will dislike these unexplained<br>
&gt; things. Being at the end of my career, I am trying to publish a lot of<br>
&gt; such &quot;still not totally explained&quot; powder problems that were sleeping<br>
&gt; in drawers. Some data were even deposited in Powbase, and<br>
&gt; addressed to the sagacity of our community (vainly). See &quot;unknown<br>
&gt; crystal structures&quot; <a href="http://www.cristal.org/iniref/unknown.html";>http://sdpd.<wbr>univ-lemans.<wbr>fr/iniref/<wbr>unknown.html</a><br>
&gt; For instance, X-KAlF4 is now solved, 17 years after the synthesis,<br>
&gt; and still a few impurity peaks...<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Best,<br>
