Spectroscopy of skeletal tissues is increasingly used in various fields, including legal medicine, forensic science and archaeology. As it is fast and technically and financially affordable yet accurate and widely applicable, spectroscopy is often used when investigating skeletal tissues. Despite its usefulness, the heterogeneity of skeletal tissues highly affects their chemical composition and complicates the interpretation of the spectroscopy results. Though the research
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
