A workshop was held at EMBL-EBI (Hinxton, UK) in January 2020 to discuss data requirements for deposition and validation of cryoEM structures, with a focus on single-particle analysis and set community recommendations.

Several community recommendations from this workshop have been incorporated into wwPDB validation reports including map analysis, FSC validation, and map-model fitness using Q-score. wwPDB plans to provide overall quality percentile on map-model fitness compared to other PDB entries in the wwPDB validation report as the next step.
