Handwriting as an activity may be reduced as the use of the keyboard increases. However, the value of handwriting in a number of domains, ranging from automated recognition of handwriting to the production of synthesised handwriting by a machine require a number of approaches to deconstructing and generating handwriting-like data. This paper is a review of the methods used in producing synthesised handwriting.
AL-HADHRAMI, A.A.N., ALLEN, M., MOFFATT, C. and JONES, A.E., 2015. National characteristics and variation in Arabic handwriting. Forensic science international, 247, pp. 89-96.
This describes a study that sought to determine whether or not Arabic writers show regional variations in handwriting style which reflect different educational and cultural practices.
KANDEL, S. and PERRET, C., 2015. How does the interaction between spelling and motor processes build up during writing acquisition? Cognition, 136, pp. 325-336.
The cognitive demands of spelling and handwriting production are greatest for young children and diminish as automaticity is achieved. This paper looks at a group of children in the age range 8 to 10 years old and finds that during this period handwriting processing becomes increasingly adult in character. It also provides a useful review of much of the literature relating to handwriting development in children. 3, 2.
KAM, M., ABICHANDANI, P. and HEWETT, T., 2015. Simulation Detection in Handwritten Documents by Forensic Document Examiners. Journal of forensic sciences, 60(4), pp. 936-41.
The abilities of forensic document examiners were compared to those of non-experts in assessing genuine and copied handwriting. The document examiners results were statistically better than those of non-experts.

MOHAMMED, L., FOUND, B., CALIGIURI, M. and ROGERS, D., 2015. Dynamic Characteristics of Signatures: Effects of Writer Style on Genuine and Simulated Signatures. Journal of forensic sciences, 60(1), pp. 89-94.
Genuine and simulated signatures were analysed using a digitising tablet and software with a view to determining whether dynamic aspects of the simulator’s normal signature impact on the simulation that they produce.

This describes a method for distinguishing between laser printed documents based on the textural information of the print. The paper is very technical but it contains a useful description of the mechanism of laser printers.
Chapter 5

This is a very thorough survey of many issues facing those producing currency and how they take into account the capabilities of the counterfeiter.

Isotopic variations of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon were used to compare inks. Pens within a pack were found to have similar isotopic ratios but pens from the same manufacturer but in a different pack bought from a different place differed.

Use of Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with statistical tools for interpreting spectra for blue ballpoint pen inks is described.
ELSHERBINY, N. and AIED NASSEF, O., 2015. Wavelength dependence of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) on questioned document investigation. Science & Justice, 55(4), pp. 254-263.
This describes an analytical technique used to compare black gel pen inks. The technique is near non-destructive and has been used in a number of forensic contexts including in artworks.

The authors look at the loss of the solvent phenoxyethanol using GC/MS. The authors found that the method was reliable albeit results are affected by ink composition and storage conditions as expected. Contains a useful summary of the methods used for ink dating.

Use of Raman spectroscopy was used to examine intersecting inklines and gave correct results in about 60% of cases. Factors affecting the reliability of the method are given, such as the time lapse between the two lines being written.
LI, B., 2015. Dating of inkpad seals using the oil diffusion (migration) method. Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 47(1), pp. 95-103.
Iron gall inks are still used in some parts of the world more than others and this paper looks at a dissolution/diffusion method for dating them.
