<p class="MsoNormal">I have R-merge values equal 0.000 from highest resolution shell (which corresponds to values larger than 1.000) in a data set processed by HKL2000, with redundancies higher than 10 (I know this may help in increasing R-merge). I am not
 sure if this is going to be a problem of Table 1 for the reviewers. Could you kindly drop me your suggestions?</p>
