Background: Trends of research publication has to be evaluated timely to acknowledge the growth and advancement of the research publications. Review of literature is not only beneficial to curricular and institutional developer but also useful for scientific researcher to recognize the critical issuance to be built.
Aims and Objectives: To analyse and evaluate the trends of publications in five highly indexed forensic journals 2019 to 2023 concerning review articles.
Materials and Methods: The retrospective study design was totally based on five highly indexed forensic journals. Data were collected by searching from website of respective journal from January 2019 to December 2023. Selected articles of respective journal were studied for acquiring information of the evaluation. The screening of published review article was done by segregating the topic of articles on the basis of 25 major field of forensic and each topic was assigned as code. All the published article and trend in review of literature of forensic in the last five years in top five highly indexed journal were statistically analysed.
Results: Out of 4292 total number of articles considered for this study, 3475 were original articles, 563 case reports and 254 review articles. Review articles constitute 6% of total published articles. From the twenty-five topics drown out for major field of forensic, topic “Forensic biology and DNA” had maximum number of review articles with 15% contribution, “Forensic pathology” had 13 % review article.
