In this article we analyse the future job opportunities for the speciality of Legal and Forensic Medicine. With the integration of the speciality into the MIR training system and with a new teaching programme, the aim is for the new specialist in legal and forensic medicine to have a high level of training and to prepare highly qualified doctors to work in the field of the speciality of legal and forensic medicine. The main objective of this training is that the specialists acquire knowledge and skills to investigate and evaluate from a medical-scientific point of view the cases related to justice, such as injuries, medico-legal investigation of death, causes of death, crimes against sexual freedom and forensic psychiatry, among others. Furthermore, the specialists can integrate into the university world, making academic career (university professors), in addition to integration in other areas as described in the article.

The organization of Legal and Forensic Medicine in Spain has undergone important structural and functional changes. Social, legislative and technological progress has determined an evolution in the form of access, scope of action, organizational dependence, functions, specialization, provision of resources, extrajudicial activities and relations with other institutions. The figure of the forensic doctor attached to a court, isolated, polyvalent, with no teaching or research activity is now a thing of the past. The figure of the Institutes already provided for in Organic Law 6/1985 of 1 July 1985 on the Judiciary promoted unity of action, teamwork, specialization and training, teaching and research. The enactment of Royal Decree 144/2023, of 28 February, approving the Regulations of the Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences has allowed these technical bodies to adapt to the process of modernisation of justice and to the necessary social and health projection of forensic sciences. We must look to the future and adapt the organizational structure, the functioning of the institutes and the regulations for their creation and entry into operation to the new changes.

To analyze the coverage and main bibliometric indicators of Spanish Journal of Legal Medicine (SJLM) in the Scopus database.
Methods
We identified the evolution of the journal's production between 2008–2024 and the citation and impact indicators (number of citations, CiteScore, Scimago Journal Rank-SJR, quartile, h-index, most cited and read papers).
Results
515 papers were included in Scopus (27.1 annual average) with an h-index of 15 and a self-citation rate of 21.5% for the period studied. The number of citations received in Scopus was 1,510, reaching the peak of citations in 2022. In the category Pathology and Forensic Medicine, for the year 2023, SJLM obtained an h-index of 13, with an SJR of 0.217 corresponding to the third quartile. In 2023 the percentage of female authors was 53.85%. The most productive institutions were the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia and the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. The article with the best metrics was the one related to gender violence and confinement due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic published in 2020.
Conclusions
A positive evolution of SJLM metrics is observed during the period studied. The improvement of the journal's indicators would benefit from its indexing in other international databases.

The text explores the importance of scientific publishing in the medical field and the dual role of the author/reviewer. The reviewer's work is crucial, as their objective is to assist other authors in improving their manuscripts and ensuring that methods are reproducible, which allows for the validation of results in future studies. In the interest of greater transparency, we emphasize the role of publication guidelines, such as CONSORT, which promote rigorous and reproducible research. There is substantial evidence demonstrating that adherence to these guidelines can enhance the quality of articles. Finally, researchers are encouraged to contribute honestly to the advancement of knowledge and best clinical practices, with the hope that their findings will translate into public health benefits.

The teaching of legal and forensic medicine in Spain is undergoing a period of profound change. With the implementation of the new curricula based on the “Bologna Plan”, undergraduate teaching in medical schools has generally lost in quantitative importance compared to previous curricula. However, postgraduate training, and in particular the specialty of Legal and Forensic Medicine in residency training, has made very significant progress. A four-year specialization, with rotations in the Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (IMLCFs) and the subsidized health centres, should provide the necessary training for future forensic doctors in Spain.

Nowadays, diving is a safe practice and fatalities are uncommon. The main cause of death reported is drowning but others have been described, such as, those secondary to the biophysical foundations that govern the hyperbaric environment, like arterial gas embolism or decompression illness. Because of this, multidisciplinary investigation is essential for elucidating the cause of death.
A practical guideline is proposed to systematize and direct the collection of technical-police and medical-forensic data by the different professionals involved to correctly identify all events related to the accident.
It consists of two well-differentiated blocks which shows the sequence to choose the most appropriate autopsy techniques and complementary tests to carry out a complete analysis of each diving fatality, all aimed to avoid overdiagnosis of deaths by drowning.
This way, it will be possible to identify risk factors or unsafe behaviours about which to develop prevention measures.
