This Forensic Science Service® FORS® database is multidisciplinary and covers literature relevant to the examination of evidential materials, analytical methods and the presentation and interpretation of findings.

The database coverage includes drugs and toxicology, forensic biology, DNA, forensic chemistry, forensic medicine and pathology, digital evidence, computer crime, documents and firearms examination, arson investigation, image processing, fingerprints, safety, quality and management aspects of running a forensic science service.

In addition, the database covers techniques and problems which are also encountered in many analytical laboratories, especially toxicology and body fluid identification.
