The Jounnal publishes original materual in the following article types: A full paper should cover its subject matter thoroughly, clearly and completely. A technical note describes a technical aspect of a field or issue and report on a procedure or method, or work on validation of techniques or methodologies; it is of insufficient length to justify a full paper, but full experimental details are required. A communication reports briefly preliminary research results of which immediate availability to the forensic science community is deemed important. A case report describes and discusses the analysis of an (or a small series of) unusual case(s); it should contain some important new information for the readers. A review is an invited or unsolicited article reviewing the state of the art or the published literature in a particular area of forensic interest to the readership. A commentary is an invited or unsolicited article of editorial or newsworthy nature. A letter to the editor and author(s) response further discuss previously reported items or any other matters.

In order to offer a rapid communication among forensic scientists, the Journal is issued in both printed and electronic versions. The printed version is only sent to the subscribers.
