Turkish Journal of Forensic Sciences and Crime Studies is principally focused on the fields of forensic sciences and crime research, and adopts as its guiding principle the publication of original theoretical and applied studies that address issues related to forensic sciences, criminology, and their associated sub-disciplines through an interdisciplinary perspective at both the national and international levels. Within this framework, the journal welcomes all studies prepared in accordance with these academic and scientific objectives.

Forensic sciences, today, constitute a scientific field that draws upon numerous disciplines in the processes of identifying crimes and offenders, as well as establishing and substantiating criminal acts, primarily through the examination and evaluation of physical evidence obtained during judicial and administrative investigations. In order for this field to develop and to be implemented effectively, it is of paramount importance to closely follow the disciplines from which it derives support, together with the scientific developments and research conducted within these areas.

Developing on a multidisciplinary basis, forensic sciences encompass a broad field of inquiry that includes disciplines such as medicine, biology, chemistry, anthropology, statistics, psychology, sociology, law, and economics, along with their respective sub-disciplines. Accordingly, the importance of conducting studies in this field in accordance with accurate scientific standards and disseminating such studies through reliable scholarly sources is indisputable.

In this regard, Turkish Journal of Forensic Sciences and Crime Studies is expected to serve as a significant academic platform that brings together multiple disciplines and provides researchers and scholars with a common scientific forum, thereby acquiring the characteristics of a reference journal in the field.
