About the Journal of Dermatologic Research and Therapy
The Journal of Dermatologic Research and Therapy (JDRT) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal covering all of dermatology, from laboratory and translational research to clinical studies and therapy. It has been published by Open Access Pub since 2015.
Purpose and readership
Dermatology from the bench to the clinic
JDRT serves dermatologists, dermatopathologists, clinician-scientists and researchers in skin biology who need sound evidence on how the skin works, how it fails and how skin disease is treated.
JDRT publishes research on the skin, hair, nails and mucosal surfaces in health and disease. It covers all of dermatology: laboratory, translational and clinical research, therapy (including procedural and evidence-based cosmetic dermatology), dermatopathology, skin infections and pediatric dermatology.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound research that connects the biology of the skin with the care of patients, to give clinical observations a place in the scientific record, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from the disciplines that inform dermatology, including immunology, genetics, microbiology, pharmacology, pathology and biomedical engineering. The Aims and Scope page describes the scope and the eligibility of different kinds of work in full.

Editorial responsibility
The Editor-in-Chief leads the journal's editorial direction and oversees its decisions, supported by an international editorial board of dermatology researchers and clinicians who handle manuscripts within their expertise and advise on the journal's scope and policies.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief inquiry. Editors with a conflict of interest are recused from handling the manuscript.
Peer review
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. The full process is set out in the Editorial Policies.
