Journal Guide

Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.

The Dermatologica Sinica aims to publish high quality scientific research in the field of dermatology, with the goal of promoting and disseminating medical science knowledge to improve global health. Articles on clinical, laboratory and social research in dermatology and other related fields that are of interest to the medical profession are eligible for consideration. Review articles, original articles, case reports, short communications, and letters to the editor are accepted. The journal is published every 3 months, with a total of 4 issues a year

Published since 1893, ''Dermatology'' provides a worldwide survey of clinical and investigative dermatology. Original papers report clinical and laboratory findings. In order to inform readers of the implications of recent research, editorials and reviews prepared by invited, internationally recognized scientists are regularly featured. In addition to original papers, the journal publishes rapid communications, short communications, and letters to Dermatology. ''Dermatology'' answers the complete information needs of practitioners concerned with progress in research related to skin, clinical dermatology and therapy. The journal enjoys a high scientific reputation with a continually increasing impact factor and an equally high circulation.

Dermatology Research and Practice is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of dermatology.

Dermatology and Therapy is an open access, international, peer-reviewed, rapid-publication journal dedicated to the publication of cutting-edge research, treatment, and aesthetic interventions in dermatology.Emphasis is placed on articles that investigate the clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology:  skin development and aging, prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders: and research into dermal structures and pathology. The journal also provides insights into all aspects relating to aesthetic dermatology, such as skin maintenance: photodamage and photoprotection: rejuvenation: restoration: and dermatological surgery and lasers. Pharmacoeconomic, epidemiological outcomes, and quality of life studies are also be encouraged, along with research relating to patient management.The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and eye care professionals and publishes original research papers, drug reviews, case reports, and short communications.Moving forward from traditional publishing, Dermatology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase visibility and readership.
