The quasi-2D organic superconductor {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2} presents properties in the superconducting state which are similar to most anisotropic high-T{sub c} compounds. The smaller upper critical fields ({approx_equal}100kOe) enable the authors to study the entire (H,T) phase diagram by electrical transport measurements: large superconducting fluctuations lead to a broadening of the normal-superconducting transition as well as to the presence of a phase transition line between a solid and a viscous liquid phase. In low magnetic fields, the displacement of the vortices in the liquid phase is due to the creation of double kinks in the flux lines.
