Abstract By utilizing the powder X-ray step-scanning diffraction data of PbSO4, we have studied the effect of the diffraction data (with different high-angle upper-limit: 2$\theta$m= 160,140,120,100,80, 70 and 60°) on the precision of the Rietveld refined lattice constants, structure parameters, and agreement indices. Tbese refined results are compared with those obtained from the single crystal data. It is revealed that the deviations of the refined lattice constants, atomic positions and isotropic temperature factors decrease, and agreement indices become smaller With the increase of 2$\theta$m. But when 2$\theta$m> 120°, the deviations and agreement indices decrease very slowly. Therefore, in general cases, 2$\theta$m should be taken to be 120°or larger in order to get satisfactory refined results in the Rietveld crystal structure refinement.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
