Aims and Scope
EMJ Dermatology is an open-access, peer-reviewed eJournal committed to helping elevate the quality of healthcare for skin, hair, and nail diseases. EMJ Dermatology endeavours to increase knowledge, stimulate discussion, and contribute to a better understanding of these conditions.
The journal is published annually, six weeks after the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV) Congress, and features highlights from this congress, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at the congress, as well as in-depth features on congress sessions. The journal also covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.
EMJ Dermatology also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports in the field. In addition, the journal welcomes the submission of features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. The journal is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.
EMJ Dermatology focuses on topics that are relevant to healthcare professionals in the field. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies that are not linked to patient outcomes. We have a particular interest in topical studies that advance knowledge and inform of coming trends affecting clinical practice in the field.
