Scope/Description:

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.Technology Readiness Level When submitting an article to Forensic Chemistry all authors will be asked to selfassign a Technology Readiness Level TRL to their article. The purpose of the TRL system is to help readers understand the level of maturity of an idea or method to help track the evolution of readiness of a given technique or method and to help filter published articles by the expected ease of implementation in an operation setting within a crime lab.
