title: Introduction to the special issue on small-angle scattering.
abstract: This open-access collection of 11 selected articles covers a small but quite diverse and interesting part of the much wider range of scientific topics presented at the 16th International Conference on Small-Angle Scattering (SAS2015) in Berlin. The topics contained here describe the particular directions in which small-angle scattering is developing at the current moment and which will become increasingly important in the future. The virtual special issue is available at http://journals.iucr.org/special_issues/2016/sas2015/.
