About JFS Noteworthy Articles

All peer-reviewed article types published in JFS issues in the calendar year prior to the AAFS Annual Conference will be considered for the JFS Noteworthy Articles collection. However, preference will be given to Commentaries, Critical Reviews, and Papers.

Articles selected will be based on recommendations from the JFS Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and Associate Editors (AEs). The JFS EIC and AEs are knowledgeable about the current forensic science literature and research and are charged with selecting articles for inclusion in the collection.

Articles featured in the JFS Noteworthy Articles collection will be accessible via the JFS AAFS website as well as the JFS Wiley Online Library (WOLs) and will be free to read for a limited period of time. Articles will remain in the JFS Noteworthy Articles collection after the free to read period ends. 

Yes. Authors sign the JFS standard Wiley Author Licensing agreement when their articles are accepted. No additional license has to be signed. 

The articles will be promoted at the AAFS Annual Conference, as well as via social media and the AAFS Newsfeed. They will be featured on the JFS homepage on the AAFS website, as well as on JFS WOLs.  

Articles featured in the JFS Noteworthy Article collection will be free to read for two months.
