The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

RÉSUMÉ

Terrorism is the way of modern warfare. Although we discuss the chemical, explosive, and biological threat in relation to terrorism, explosives remain the weapons of choice because they have low technological and economic requirements. While there are feeble efforts to prevent people from becoming terrorists and larger efforts to prevent people from making bombs, major governmental resources have been aimed at finding bombs of unknown materials, put together in unknown fashion, and placed in unknown locations. From person-borne to vehicle-borne activities, law enforcement and counter-terrorism personnel have seen no end of threat situations. An overview of the history, existing practices, and potential future techniques of explosive detection will be presented in this paper. Emphasis will be given to technologies presently used in forensics and airport screening, including detection of bulk quantities and trace amounts. Despite almost thirty years of development only a few technologies have made it to wide-scale use. X-ray remains the principal bulk detection technology, while ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) retains a favored position in trace technologies and standoff detection has yet to find a front runner. Sample collection remains a challenge. In the past we have been surprised by terrorist attacks involving Semtex, urea nitrate, ammonium nitrate, triacetone triperoxide (TATP), hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), hydrogen peroxide, and chlorates. Are available signatures adequate and where should we look for them?
