2020 - A new decade of forensic science
Abstract
We have been overwhelmed with the volume of quality submissions received in 2019, with over 40 published articles - including 12 case reports - across fields including digital forensics, genetics, pathology, anthropology, and wildlife forensics. Particularly encouraging is the broad geographical representation of authors, aligning with our goal of promoting discourse within the global forensic and legal communities. We sincerely thank our authors, reviewer community, and editorial board members for their efforts in making this new venture a success. Equally, we are appreciative of the support shown by the broader forensic community, with over 25,000 article downloads since our platform launch in June.
