Abstract
Forensics at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) crosses many disciplines and includes computer forensics, firearms analysis, trace analysis, and forensic biometrics, including fingerprints and DNA analysis. This research and the resulting publications by NIST scientists have proven impact on the forensics research community. At the Forensics@NIST 2014 meeting, the Information Services Office (ISO) at NIST shared the results of its study analyzing the impact of NIST's peer-reviewed journal literature through citation analysis and network visualizations. ISO's study identified the journals, institutions, and countries that cite NIST forensics articles most frequently, and also examined NIST's extramural publication collaborations in forensics. ISO's 2016 research updates the study from two years ago and once again looks at where NIST's forensic research has had some of the greatest impact, highlighting trends since 2014.
