This has been discussed by Diederichs and Karplus(<ref name="DiKa97">K. Diederichs and P.A. Karplus (1997). Improved R-factors for diffraction data analysis in macromolecular crystallography. Nature Struct. Biol. 4, 269-275 [http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/strucbio/files/nsb-1997.pdf]</ref>), who suggest a multiplicity-independant version called R<sub>meas</sub>, which unfortunately is not used by everyone because the formula gives higher values than R<sub>merge</sub>. R-factors for data quality assessment were also suggested by Diederichs and Karplus, and Weiss and Hilgenfeld <ref name="WeHi97">M.S. Weiss and R. Hilgenfeld (1997) On the use of the merging R-factor as a quality indicator for X-ray data. J. Appl.
