Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present a call for submissions for our second IJERPH Special Issue pertaining to forensic medicine and sciences, specifically the application of epidemiologic (population-based) methods, data, and principles to issues and questions that arise in forensic practice. The first issue was highly successful and received a number of intriguing submissions that have attracted a high level of interest worldwide.
For this Special Issue, we seek papers on a broad spectrum of forensic issues and applications related to population-based topics, and how they may inform evidence-based practice in forensic medicine and the forensic sciences. Topics within the forensic realm relating to disparities amongst disadvantaged populations and people of color are of particular interest. We encourage a wide range of submissions, including reviews, observational studies, case series and case studies, hypothesis-generating studies, and other study designs with a population-based focus.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Dr. Michael D. Freeman
Prof. Dr. Maurice Zeegers
