Excerpt

Population data are an important part of forensic genetics, since allele frequencies are needed for any statistical evaluation. But the presentation of these data in a full manuscript is rather boring/cumbersome for the reader, because a major part of the information is similar for each manuscript. To avoid these problems, there is a new possibility to publish population genetic data in the International Journal of Legal Medicine called “Population data”. Here, we describe this new article type of the journal to give potential authors an idea how it should be structured. …
