Berlin/Heidelberg.

About the Journal:

       Official Publication of the International Academy of Legal
       Medicine

       The International Journal of Legal Medicine is the continuation
       of the Zeitschrift für Rechtsmedizin and its predecessors and
       carries on their tradition, which goes back nearly 200 years. With
       immediate effect, the journal will be published exclusively in
       English, no longer even containing German summaries. A further
       change coming into force immediately that it has been adopted as
       the official organ of the International Academy of Legal
       Medicine; such it will contain newsletters relating to Academy
       matters, standards, congresses and new developments.

       It is the aim of the International Journal of Legal Medicine to
       improve the scientific armamentarium necessary for the
       elucidation of crime and for related forensic applications at a
       high level of evidential proof. The subject will dealt with in:

       Review articles tracing development in specific areas and
       providing up-to-date analysis of them

       Original articles discussing recent research results of a high
       standard

       Case reports describing interesting and exceptional cases

       Letters to the Editors, in which the readers have the opportunity
       of expressing their comments on new results reported or indeed
       on other matters

       Technical notes, which appear in a section originally created for
       rapid publication of data in the dynamic field of DNA analysis.
       Other fields have already made valuable contributions, however,
       and of course these are also welcome. This section is designed to
       provide a forum for discussion of innovative protocols and
       methodologies: papers submitted for publication have should
       provide clear and concise information on the advantages over
       existing methods and/or new data. DNA manuscripts can also
       deal with short validation studies, population data, quality
       control studies, etc. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 typescript
       pages in length; much shorter contributions are also very
       welcome.

       The International Journal of Legal Medicine will continue to
       be a regular source of essential information in the areas of:

       Forensic pathology, including sudden death, thanatology, and
       demonstration of vital reactions

       Clinical forensic pathology, including such topics as
       non-accidental injury and rape

       Forensic haemogenetics, with special emphasis on the recent
       advances in DNA technology and PCR

       Forensic toxicology, as it relates for example to alcohol and drug
       addiction, and recent technology

       Traffic medicine, with special reference to reconstruction, causal
       connections, and medical complications
