From the Editor's Desk

Dear All,

You have my sincere gratitude for believing in me and giving me this distinguished role as the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine. Big thanks to all IAFM members and Esteemed voters. Words can not describe how grateful I am.

I am grateful to the former IAFM President - Dr Mukesh Yadav Sir and former IAFM Secretary- Dr Manish Kumath Sir for their kind blessings and continued support.

With blessings and support from current IAFM President- Dr C B Jani Sir and IAFM Secretary- Dr Rajesh Dere Sir, I will prove myself with continued hard work, dedication and constant efforts towards upliftment of the journal status.

I am well aware of the obligations that you have placed on me. With your ongoing assistance, I hope that everyone will have a great time for their own academic upliftment, including upgradation of the journal quality and indexing status at par excellence. I will strive to improve the caliber and standard of JIAFM publications.

Throughout the trip, I ask for your participation, understanding, and direction as needed. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of our past editors and co-editors who have distinguished this journal via their tireless efforts and dedication, which has allowed JIAFM to grow every year.

Being the Editor-in-Chief, on the behalf of my new editorial team including officially elected Joint Editor Dr Mohammed Ziyauddin G. Saiyed, I assure you a hassle-free and user friendly manuscript submission, handling and management system via SAGE platform for speedy process and final decision through editorial team.

A few highly active national and international faculties with outstanding knowledge in a range of subspecialties have also been added as National, international editorial board and reviewer board panels, and they will be able to provide constructive criticism to help us get better.

Additionally, by including case series, research briefs, brief communications, book reviews, and letters to the editor, we intend to improve the publication sections.

We genuinely anticipate our fraternity's academic advancement through high-caliber publications with your help.
