Dear Forensic Scientists,

We are here with the second issue of The Bulletin of Legal Medicine in 2016. Though We are facing an extraordinary period of coup attempt, we must emphasize and express our loyalty to social, democratic and secular constitutional state and our republic more strongly.

We are very pleased about administration of the plaques to both our former editors, our masters who contributed to our journal as referee and our editorial board of our journal by our association in 13th Forensic Sciences Congress in Bodrum.

We continue to present our bulletin in printed and electronic media as free. We are pleased to share more satisfying articles in terms of quality and quantity with you. We would like to ask you particularly to pay attention to spelling, to sign a copyright transfer agreement and to add the doi numbers of references when you send your articles to our journal. We hope you to support, participate and contribute with your research articles as a timely published scientific journal

We want to highlight that our journal which has a faster and easier access website with double-blind referee system has also started to proceed with important databases including PubMed and SCI-Expanded as well.

We wish to raise the eligibility of our journal higher by being aware of the fact that being scientific is the only way to build up a future for forensic sciences...

Prof. Dr. Halis Dokgöz
Editor
