Academic Forensic Pathology is a triple-blinded, peer-reviewed journal, published electronically four times each year, with a focus on forensic pathology. The journal defines forensic pathology as the medical subspecialty wherein practitioners observe, document, and interpret the medicolegal significance of injuries and diseases in both living and deceased humans.

Academic Forensic Pathology: The Publication of the National Association of Medical Examiners Foundation is committed to publishing high quality, timely, and relevant peer reviewed scholarly manuscripts of importance to the practice of forensic pathology. We define forensic pathology as the medical subspecialty wherein practitioners observe, document, and interpret the medicolegal significance of injuries and diseases in both living and deceased humans. Given that, we will review manuscripts on any aspect of:

Death investigation

Forensic histopathology
Toxicology
Forensic imaging/radiology
Forensic anthropology
Forensic neuropathology
Cardiovascular pathology
Pulmonary pathology
Other subspecialty organ/tissue pathology of medicolegal relevance

Any other area with obvious relevance to the practice of forensic pathology
