Abstract

The purpose of the article is to formulate a conceptual vision of improving the scientific and methodological foundations of the application of special knowledge in the field of forensic documentation through the formation within the forensic technical examination of documents of a new expert specialty – determining the statute of limitations (index 2.4). The reliability of the obtained results and conclusions is ensured by the use of a set of general scientific research methods. In particular, with the help of the historical-legal method the scientific opinion on the content of special knowledge in retrospect is investigated; system-analytical – generalized scientific approaches to highlighting the main objectives of the use of special knowledge; system-structural – the range of special knowledge in the field of forensic document science, which should be possessed by an expert documentologist, is defined, the definition of «special knowledge in the field of forensic document science» is formulated; system-functional – formulated a conceptual vision of ways to improve the scientific and methodological foundations of the application of special knowledge in the field of forensic document science. In addition, for practical implementation, such forms of knowledge as concepts, laws, hypotheses, theories are used, which allow to apply them further, receiving scientific approbation. The definition of «special knowledge in the field of forensic document science» is formulated and the necessity of creation within the limits of forensic technical examination of documents of a new expert specialty – definition of prescription of the document (index 2.4) is scientifically substantiated. As a result of retrospective analysis of scientific opinion on the content of special knowledge, it is stated that the discussion on this subject continues, determining the expediency of determining special knowledge by areas of application. A wide range of special knowledge in the field of forensic document science is outlined, which should be possessed by an expert document maker, forming a separate category of knowledgeable persons. Scientifically substantiated, given the amount of special knowledge that document experts should have, promising areas of expanding the possibilities of forensic technical examination of documents, providing for the creation of a new expert specialty – determining the statute of limitations (index 2.4) and initiating new approaches to forensic training.
