These papers may not be exclusively devoted to structure determination from powder diffraction data. At least they deal a lot about this topic. The ratio is near of one review article for ten experimental cases solved ! A kind of proof that the subject is hot. Some papers are reviewing only parts of the topic (for instance direct space locating molecules, etc).
