Standards and Guidelines

Glass Density Determination

Scientific Working Group for Materials Analysis (SWGMAT)

July 2004, Correction

References

Some of the references in the SWGMAT guidelines published in the January 2005 issue of Forensic Science Communications contained errors. The following represents the corrected version of the references, which also have been corrected in the journal’s January 2005 issue (see http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/lab/forensic-science-communications/fsc/jan2005). Authors who have cited these works based on the previously published references should ensure that they now use the correct citations. The editors apologize for the errors.
