International Journal of Dermoscopy

by Subrata Malakar

International Journal of Dermoscopy is a pioneer for clinical research in the world of dermoscopy. This journal publishes articles dealing with dermoscopy as well as trichoscopy. It not only highlights the latest advances made in the field of dermoscopy but also deals with nuances in the sub surface arena of dermatology. This journal is essential reading for all dermatologists seeking to master the art of dermoscopy. It is the first and only source of peer reviewed material with a targeted focus on dermoscopy and its noninvasive investigative scope. The aims of this journal are to publish articles dealing with the latest in dermoscopy and trichoscopy, to encourage case studies in dermoscopy, to inspire original and review articles, thus contributing to better comprehension of dermoscopic dilemmas. It also aims to unmask dermoscopic-histopathological correlation of various skin lesions. This journal offers regular reviews by experts in dermoscopy and trichoscopy. Letters to the editor provide an open forum for discussion and debate regarding various dermoscopic findings and their clinical relevance. It is an open access publication which gives our international readers an opportunity to full texts. This is the only international platform for dermatologists to publish, expand and diversify their dermoscopic knowledge.

 

Jaypee Journals follow the policy of open access under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 licence. For the details of self archiving policy for authors:

 

Open Access Policy

A comprehensive outlook on open access policy that we follow:

Open access refers to the practice of making peer-reviewed scholarly research and literature freely available online to anyone interested in reading it without any restriction. This Open access publications are freely and permanently available online to anyone with an internet access. Unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium (which is non-commercial) is permitted, provided the author/editor is properly attributed. All the periodicals are deposited immediately upon publication, without any technical, financial, gender limitations, in an agreed format on the journal website as well as archiving and indexing databases as applicable to a journal. All articles are self-archiving, with world-wide access through DOI (Digital Object Identifier) - standardized by the International Organization for Standardization, provided for individual article published.

We are fully archived on PORTICO.

Why open access publishing?

Restricted access to scientific research and advancements through subscription pay wall hinders communication within the scientific community. Moreover, restricted access can also hinder the education and dissemination of scientific knowledge to the aspiring younger generations who are keen to pursue a career in science. Increased productivity and development of science can only be achieved by diffusing knowledge and providing the facilities for creating permanent repositories such as Open Access.

The use of a Creative Commons 4.0 License (CC-BY-NC 4.0) enables user/ reader/ peer to use the content with clear permission in a way that it can be reused and redistributed as long as the article source is appropriately given credit for non-commercial purpose.
