Mission and objectives of the journal

Our mission

Archiwum Medycyny Sądowej i Kryminologii (AMSiK) is a peer-reviewed scientific quarterly journal published by the Polish Society of Forensic Medicine and Criminology (PTMSiK). It accepts manuscripts in both Polish and English languages.


AMSiK presents original articles, case reports, review articles and historical papers on forensic medicine, forensic science and related fields. The journal also accepts manuscripts on medical ethics and deontology, activity reports and announcements of the PTMSiK, reports on national and international conferences, book reviews and letters to the Editor. Since the journal essentially aims at presenting state-of the art of forensic medicine, the Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts dedicated to:

  • forensic thanatology and traumatology
  • forensic diagnostics (e.g. genetic, imaging, toxicological)
  • forensic expert opinions and clinical forensic medicine


While the AMSiK is primarily positioned in life sciences, it also accepts manuscripts on humanities related to the law enforcement activities (e.g. psychology, public safety or selected areas of criminalistics).


The journal is published in the print and electronic version. Abstracts are available in Index Medicus/MEDLINE.
