ANIL AGGRAWAL'S JOURNALS

An electronic journal is a scholarly publication made available exclusively in digital format, accessible via the Internet. Unlike traditional print journals, it leverages the flexibility and speed of the web, allowing for immediate global dissemination, interactive content, and multimedia integration.

The journal bears my name to clearly identify the editorial leadership and maintain accountability for content quality. This practice ensures transparency and reflects the personal commitment behind the journal’s establishment and ongoing standards. It is a deliberate choice to build trust and credibility in an era of proliferating online publications.

Indeed, it is unconventional. However, the name reflects the pioneering nature of this project—an initiative deeply driven by a single individual’s expertise and passion for forensic sciences. It symbolizes responsibility and personal stewardship over the journal’s integrity and quality.

The journal publishes biannually, issuing two comprehensive editions per year, each presenting the latest advances and research in forensic medicine and toxicology.

There are numerous electronic journals available online—approximately a dozen that I have personally accessed and linked on our homepage. However, Anil Aggrawal’s Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology remains a pioneering publication as India’s first true electronic journal across all disciplines and the world’s inaugural electronic journal dedicated to forensic medicine. This landmark journal was launched on February 25, 2000.

Absolutely. Citing electronic journal articles is now standard academic practice. You are encouraged to reference our papers in your scholarly work. Detailed citation guidelines are available on the Instructions for Authors page.

Not at all. The academic landscape has evolved significantly. Electronic journals are now widely respected, and many researchers specifically choose to submit to them. All papers published in this journal have been written and submitted exclusively for consideration here.

Moreover, our journal has a distinct editorial scope and mission that sets it apart from conventional print journals. As outlined on our Home page, we embrace the unique capabilities of digital publishing—such as multimedia integration and broader accessibility—making it a purposeful and independent platform, not a fallback option.
