Journal of Medical Toxicology and Clinical Forensic Medicine

Congratulations to the very first issue of the Journal of Medical Toxicology and clinical Forensic Medicine. It is my great pleasure to write this editorial as a forensic medicine practitioner.

As today's society is becoming more advanced and complex, crime is accordingly becoming more sophisticated and occurring at a larger scale. Criminal activities now are not limited within a country’s borders anymore, but are conducted on a global scale. It goes without saying that these days, the power of forensics is playing a key role in solving crimes and the importance of international cooperation and information exchange is very high. Moreover, cases where prompt correspondence on a global level is required have to be dealt with based on mutual understanding, in a unified manner and according to a clear standard operation protocol. The role of the 'Journal of Medical Toxicology and clinical Forensic Medicine' is therefore very important.

As mentioned above, the advancement of traffic and IT don't only provide convenience to human society but sadly also leads to the development of similar or even identical crimes occur across the globe. We can also find natural disasters of similar character occur more frequently at different locations. For such reasons, active interaction and cooperation among scientists has to be emphasized and I do believe that this journal will serve as an important mediator for such professionals. As a forum to seek, share and create knowledge, this journal is going to provide scientists with cutting-edge and valuable research, and case reports about crime and accidents.

The role of forensic scientists all over the world is very important. There has to be a lot of support, however with your valuable research and publication, there is no doubt that this journal will grow into one of the leading journals in the world.

Finally, I thank everyone who has worked hard to bring this journal out to light.
