Forensic Chemistry

Forensic Chemistry publishes high quality manuscripts focusing on the theory, research and application of any chemical science to forensic analysis. The scope of the journal includes fundamental advancements that result in a better understanding of the evidentiary significance derived from the physical and chemical analysis of materials.The scope of Forensic Chemistry will also include the application and or development of any molecular and atomic spectrochemical technique,electrochemical techniques, sensors, surface characterization techniques,mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemometrics and statistics, and separation sciences (e.g. chromatography) that provide insight into the forensic analysis of materials.

Evidential topics of interest to the journal include, but are not limited to, fingerprint analysis,drug analysis, ignitable liquid residue analysis, explosives detection and analysis,the characterization and comparison of trace evidence (glass, fibers, paints and polymers,tapes,soils and other materials),ink and paper analysis, gunshot residue analysis,synthetic pathways for drugs,toxicology and the analysis and chemistry associated with the components of fingermarks. The journal is particularly interested in receiving manuscripts that report advances in the forensic interpretation of chemical evidence.
