Forensic Sciences Switches to Double-Blind Peer Review

Prof. Dr. Bruce Royston McCord, Editor-in-Chief of this journal, along with the Editorial Office, would like to announce that a double-blind review process will be applied to all Forensic Sciences (ISSN: 2673-6756) submissions as of 1 October 2024, meaning that the authors’ names will not be known to reviewers until after the paper is published.

The rationale for this change is a growing concern among the forensic science community that deliberate and unconscious biases can affect the review process. In an attempt to address this, the double-blind review procedure will help preserve objectivity in the journal’s peer-review process.

Technical details on manuscript preparation for a double-blind peer review can be found in the “Instructions for Authors” Section of the Forensic Sciences website, at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forensicsci/instructions.
