Introduction

Forensic Science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze scientific evidence during the course of an investigation. Forensic Science is a multidisciplinary subject, drawing principally from chemistry, biology, physics, geology, psychology, social sciences etc.

The Journal of Forensic Science and Research is an initiative of Heighten Science to publish peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts emphasizing skills, application and communication of competent and credible developments in the field of forensic science and research.

Reasons for Publishing
