Analytical Chemistry in Forensic Science

Dear Colleagues,

We are honored to have been invited to put together a Special Issue of Molecules on the topic of “Analytical Chemistry in Forensic Science” with the goal of publishing high-quality and applied research across all disciplines related to the development and use of analytical techniques for the advancement of forensic science. Specifically, this Special Issue will promote rigorous novel research that investigates forensic science-related topics and offers a platform for the dissemination of scientific advancement to a diverse audience of forensic practitioners, research scientists, and law enforcement officials.

All submissions must contribute to advancing the field of forensic science and be technically sound with clear research justifications. Contributions from forensic practitioners reporting on validation and implementation of novel analytical methods and techniques in crime laboratories are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Igor Lednev
Prof. Dr. Brooke Weinger Kammrath
