Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on forensic science, including the analysis of skeletal remains for identification and understanding past conditions. Studies examine methods for estimating postmortem intervals using insect development and environmental factors. Research also covers osteometric analysis for population-specific identification and the use of imaging techniques for age estimation. Investigations into the taphonomy of human remains in aquatic environments and the morphological analysis of bones and sternums for forensic applications are also featured.
