Invitation to Authors

On behalf of the Journal of Forensic Document Examination I am happy to invite you to participate as author in our next Special Issue titled “Handwriting Analysis and A.I.: Possibilities and Challenges”. The accepted papers can include new researches, literature reviews, reviews of pertinent software and casework, while the potential authors could range from forensic document examiners to computer scientists, programmers and neuroscientists. We aim to present through a multidisciplinary prism the imminent interaction between the phenomenon of handwriting – as examined by the disciplines of Forensic Document Analysis, Graphonomics and Neuroscience- and the emerging Artificial Intelligence technologies, focusing among others on explainable artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, machine learning, Bayesian inference, automatic signature verification software etc.
