Over the last 6 weeks, I’ve been running a poll here on P212121 that asks people whether we need an X-ray diffraction image data bank. The results are in! The vast majority of voters believe we do, in fact, need a image data bank and that it should be free.

Final Results:

Do we need an X-ray Diffraction Image Data Bank?

  • Yes, free access (79.0%, 78 Votes)
  • No, need to store images (13.0%, 13 Votes)
  • Yes, pay for access (5.0%, 5 Votes)
  • No opinion (3.0%, 3 Votes)

Total Voters: 99

One of the biggest benefits of the poll was one user’s mention of TARDIS in the comments section. I was able to attain more information about TARDIS and it looks like it will satisfy our need!
