Abstract

Ankita Deoli*

Without consistent development and progress, such words as progress, accomplishment, and achievement have no importance. The Journal of Forensic Research (ISSN: 2157-7145) is developing consistently from recent years. It is our pleasure to declare that during year 2019, all issues of volume 10 were published online on schedule and the print issues were additionally brought out and dispatched inside 30 days of publishing the issue on the web.

Journal of Forensic Research (JFR) during this year also brought out 22^nd World Congress on Nursing Education and Patient Safety and 6^th International Conference on forensic Research and technology conference proceedings, which consisted of ˜50 abstracts.
