Procedure for selection of Papers
There is no guarantee that every paper submitted will be hosted on the net. All the papers received would be sent to a senior advisory board of Editors, comprising of eminent forensic experts from several nations. The identity of the author would be kept secret. When a majority of Board Members have passed the paper, the paper would be put on the net. The service is absolutely free of charge, and is provided only for the furtherance of the discipline of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. Please allow about one to two months from the date of submission of papers till the hosting on the net.
The hard printed copy of the paper/dissertation, the photographs and the signed statement must be sent at the following address.

Procedure for selection of Thesis and Dissertations

If found suitable, you would be informed accordingly by E-mail. You would then be required to send the actual thesis along with all photographs, charts, diagrams etc to the journal address, along with a signed declaration as above. The thesis would become the property of the journal. It would be hosted on the net about a month or so after its receipt.
Please send photographs, charts, diagrams etc in original at the journal address.
