Dear CCP4 community, what's the general opinion regarding sharing old published data sets ? Would you be offended if I asked you for your raw images from say a 5-10 year old structure ? And then the more tricky question, what if I find something you overlooked and I would perhaps be able to use that information ?
(my 2 cents worth) Sounds like grounds for co-authorship - doesn't need to be an embarrassment for the original authors - "further refinement of structure 1xyz revealed important details regarding the . . ." It's not unusual for the original authors to discover mistakes after a structure is published, obsolete the original structure and maybe even get another publication. (of course you would have to deposit the data this time)
Any suggestions and advice are welcome on or off board. Thanks, Jürgen ......................
