Forensic Science Policy & Management: An International Journal does not focus on the science of forensic science, but rather on how scientists, managers, and policy makers practice and use that science. The journal will provide a vital dialogue for exploring both current practice in forensic science and methods for improving and advancing the field so that it can meet rapidly increasing public needs and expectations.
Authors and readers will include scientists, practitioners, laboratory supervisors/directors, and policymakers in academia, government, and forensic science laboratories around the globe.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
