Scope

Science & Justice is the official journal of The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. It provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be internationally evidenced, debated and progressed through high quality, peer reviewed publications. It promotes learned and original research findings across all subjects of interest to forensic and crime science communities, and the criminal justice sector. The journal publishes material in the following types of submission: Original Research Papers Short Communications (for example, Preliminary Studies and Proof-of-Concept articles where datasets are limited) Review Articles Technical Notes Case Studies Professional Practice Reports Rapid Communications Commentaries (including Professional Commentaries) Correspondence Science & Justice is published six times a year and will be of primary interest to forensic scientists, forensic practitioners and crime scene investigators, legal professionals and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article that does not comply with strict ethical and legal standards. Evidence of consent and compliance, along with reference to protocol approval from an institutional ethical review committee should accompany your submission, particularly for case studies and research involving human or animal experimentation, or any study involving human data, non-exclusively including patient data.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
