• Rietveld Quantitative Phase Analysis of OPC Clinkers, Cements and Hydration Products (2012, neutral): “As a general rule, our approach is to select the phase which gives a lower R F factor (see McCusker et al. 1999; Toby 2006) hopefully linked to a higher quantification value.”
• Rietveld texture analysis from synchrotron diffraction images. I. Calibration and basic analysis (2014, background): “Note that the R-factor is a single number to describe a very complex situation (as discussed by Toby, 2006) and in the end the 2D display is more reliable to assess the quality of fit, including texture (Figure 6).”
