European Polygraph

European Polygraph was conceived as an international forum upon which to present the achievements and scientific research in polygraph examinations. The forum also serves as a means by which to exchange practical experience from many countries and publish book reviews of works devoted to the subject.

Journal Aims and Scope

The issue of polygraph examinations includes basic research in myriad fields such as psychology, psychiatry, psychophysiology, criminology, forensic sciences – and in the near future – certainly also neurophysiology and others. The journal deals with approaches and research conducted as part of criminal justice, jurisprudence (criminal procedure), human rights, labour law, and others. It also contains philosophical and strictly ethical reflections on polygraph examinations. Our objective is to publish works on polygraph examinations from this broad spectrum of sciences. European Polygraph publishes both the results of experimental research, as well as analyses of practises, case studies, works on the history of polygraph examinations, legal considerations on polygraph examinations and their admissibility in investigations and court cases, as well as pre-employment and control examinations such as those used in the civil service and in business. We also publish training materials based on practical experience, book reviews of works on polygraph examinations, and proceedings from conferences and seminars devoted to the subject.
