环境法医学为科学调查提供了一个论坛，以解决环境污染、污染源以及其释放到环境中的历史重建问题。在该期刊上发表的论文所涉及的调查背景，往往受到监管或法律程序、公众监督和辩论的制约。在所有的背景下，严谨的科学基础指导着课题的研究。具体来说，该杂志是一份国际、季度、同行评议的出版物，提供科学研究，探索或与环境污染的来源、年龄、命运、运输、人类健康和生态影响有关。期刊主题涵盖了上述环境介质中空气、水、土壤、沉积物和生物群污染的所有方面。强调数据评估和分析方法，包括多元统计方法。期刊重点关注以下领域的科学技术信息、数据和关键分析:用于来源鉴定和/或年龄测定的污染物指纹，包括(但不限于)化学、同位素、手性、矿物学/显微技术、DNA和树环指纹来源鉴定和/或年龄测定的具体评价技术，包括(但不限于)历史文件和航空摄影评论、签字化学品、大气示踪剂和市场取证、背景浓度评价。统计评价、污染物建模和数据可视化蒸气侵入，包括描述室内空气污染的来源和背景值综合案例研究，采用环境命运技术法律考虑，包括诉讼和仲裁中对环境命运的战略考虑，以及法规和行动本杂志面向广大读者，包括:环境顾问和其他环境专业人士、律师、工业场地的业主/经营者和环境管理人员、监管机构、实验室专业人员、环境科学家和学术界人士(例如，参与环境研究的人员)。同行评审政策:所有提交的稿件都要经过编辑的初步评审，如果发现适合进一步考虑，则至少由两名独立的、匿名的专家评审。同行评审通常是双盲的(除非作者在提交给审阅者的文本中包含他们的姓名/所属单位，以便审阅者公开他们的姓名)，并且提交是通过ScholarOne手稿在网上进行的。
Environmental Forensics provides a forum for scientific investigations that address environment contamination, its sources, and the historical reconstruction of its release into the environment. The context for investigations that form the published papers in the journal are often subjects to regulatory or legal proceedings, public scrutiny, and debate. In all contexts, rigorous scientific underpinnings guide the subject investigations.Specifically, the journal is an international, quarterly, peer-reviewed publication offering scientific studies that explore or are relevant to the source, age, fate, transport, as well as human health and ecological effects of environmental contamination. Journal subject matter encompasses all aspects of contamination mentioned above within the environmental media of air, water, soil, sediments and biota. Data evaluation and analysis approaches are highlighted as well including multivariate statistical methods. Journal focus is on scientific and technical information, data, and critical analysis in the following areas:Contaminant Fingerprinting for source identification and/or age-dating, including (but not limited to) chemical, isotopic, chiral, mineralogical/microscopy techniques, DNA and tree-ring fingerprintingSpecific Evaluative Techniques for source identification and/or age-dating including (but not limited to) historical document and aerial photography review, signature chemicals, atmospheric tracers and markets forensics, background concentration evaluations.Statistical Evaluation, Contaminant Modeling and Data VisualizationVapor Intrusion including delineating the source and background values of indoor air contaminationIntegrated Case Studies, employing environmental fate techniquesLegal Considerations, including strategic considerations for environmental fate in litigation and arbitration, and regulatory statutes and actions This journal addresses a large audience, including: environmental consultants and other environmental professionals, attorneys, owners/operators and environmental managers at industrial sites, regulators, laboratory professionals, environmental scientists, and academia personnel (e.g., involved in environmental studies).Peer Review Policy: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at leasttwo independent, anonymous expert referees. Peer review is typically double blinded (unless authors include their names/affiliation in the text submitted for reviewers want to disclose their names) and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
