Science & Justice is published bi-monthly and primarily caters to forensic scientists, forensic practitioners, crime scene investigators, legal professionals, and related fields. While it prioritizes the publication of formal scientific papers to maintain its international scholarly standing, it upholds strict ethical and legal standards. Submissions must provide evidence of consent, compliance, and reference to protocol approval from an institutional ethical review committee, particularly for case studies and research involving human or animal experimentation, as well as studies involving human data, including patient data.
The journal invites submissions from all relevant areas of criminal justice, criminal law, and forensic science disciplines. These may encompass crime scene and vehicle collision investigation, forensic archaeology and anthropology, forensic biology, forensic genetics and pathology, forensic chemistry and toxicology, criminalistics and physical sciences, digital forensics, environmental forensics, and wildlife crime. Authors should consider the diverse, international readership of the journal and, whenever possible, provide a contextual framework for their work and its practical application to benefit practitioners, academics, researchers, and criminal justice systems worldwide.
